-: Somebody who's always had an interest in this area.
As a young child, I love audiovisual.
I love music.
I love watching videos and I love technology
and how it can make life more efficient,
and it's something neat when you go home
and you use various products that you can see
how this can really help enhance your day-to-day.
And it's neat just to see how much behind the scenes
goes on in ensuring that those policies are correct
and people have an understanding.
And I know there is a lot of court cases and law
that is crafting in a way, a Wild, Wild, West area
of what is gonna happen next.
What's gonna provide individuals some comfort?
What's gonna cause some challenges?
What's gonna cause some privacy concerns?
And I think for somebody to get in this area
is watch the news, read the books, look at the magazines
and see what is out there that could potentially
be game-changing, disruptive technology
and then think about how that applies to your day-to-day.
I always tell students,
make a list from when you get up to go to bed
of individuals and products you interact with,
and those are potential employers for you.
So if you're in law school
and you're thinking about future employment,
think about those that are just outside of the box
that are typically given to law students,
and that way your field can be expanded infinitely
to make them more opportunities for you
and you may come across options
that you never considered before.
Competition is one thing that is challenging.
I think the legal industry has a lot of competition,
there's very talented individuals,
excellent academic credentials
but I think that challenge is overcome
by just not giving up and also reaching out to individuals
through the university, through the networks
to identify your interest in this area,
and like to meet with them to see how they did their journey
to make it a little more efficient for you.
