I Started My Own Law Firm

Posted on March 1, 2010 by

I was absolutely miserable working in a law firm. The funny thing is as long as I can remember all I ever wanted in a career was my own business, and when I began thinking about law school, I always imagined working in my own small law firm. The trouble was there was this thing getting in the way – my paycheck. My paycheck was probably the only thing I really liked about working at that firm. It was sort of an addiction – a fix every other Thursday. Then February 2009 happened. Law firm layoffs were everywhere in the news, and I was one of those statistics. I actually was not surprised – one of the partners with whom I shared a printer left a memo on the printer that I accidentally stapled to a pleading I was preparing (good thing I gave it a proof read before I submitted it to the Court). Knowing in advance was good. I was able to have my moment of stress ahead of time and just deal with moving on Continue reading →

Career Change: Omar Soliman, Health Care to Hunk Hauling Junk

Posted on November 10, 2009 by

Would you say to those who believe they need a formal education to change careers?
Its hard not to shake my head in dissatisfaction at those that think a formal education is the key to a career change. Education is the key to making yourself a better person it is not the key to a better career. The book Rich Dad Poor Dad states that the Poor dad gets an education so as to find a company to work for where as the Rich dad gets an education to figure out which company he wants to buy. Obviously not everyone can go around buying companies but this points out the misconception of education. The true entrepreneurs educate themselves so as to make decisions that will help them reach their goals. They do not get educations because society or other people expect it. howichangedcareers.com Continue reading →
