My job? I'm an intake coordinator for Maryland state government's Public Defender's office. I work half in an office, half in a detention center, interviewing potential clients with charges ranging from incarcerable traffic violations to murder and murder conspiracy. I get to hear a lot of interestingly morbid stories. I get to talk on those neat phones in the jail where you sit across from someone separated by glass. I love it. It does, however, merit a certain amount of knowledge that can work towards shattering any previous expectations of humanity. Ever want to talk to someone who smokes crack and does heroin despite the fact that they're about to give birth to twins in two weeks? Please, come join me!
Despite my job, however, I'm not anywhere near interested in becoming an attorney. I don't have enough care for people who **** up their lives to want to defend them in a court of law. As for my degree, I'm currently going to school to get a degree in American literature, and then I want to continue on with a masters, and potentially work towards a PhD. I would love to teach at a university and help get people interested in some of the greatest written works of our world!
