why do you think I changed majors to Sign Language Interpreting?

Didn't know you'd changed majors, what was your major before? Did you take up sign language interpreting because you felt there were better job prospects, grew concerned over the rights of the orally challenged or did you discover you had particular talent with your hands?
Lawyers are more maligned than we deserve, probably has a lot to do with the fact many politicians are lawyers. The reason politicians often are lawyers is because both jobs relate to the law. But the law is complicated since there has been lots of legislation interpreting, expanding making exceptions and modifying previous laws. Modern societies need lawyers to identify within a myriad of statutes the specific regulations applicable in their client's case. Some think if the law were really simple (not more complicated than the "10 Commandements") then things would run much better, definitely wouldn't need many lawyers or politicians.
