It's My Right.

Jobs, Money, Economy, Scarcity. They're all things that control how people view ones life, looks, and ethnicity. So why wouldn't I want a job that will provide for my wants and needs?Why is wanting a job for the money something that's looked upon as greed? It's my right to want to be able to provide for my family, and it is my right to want to do something that will provide for my wants.

A lawyer is a common job, one that many kids at first dream of being then fade out into what they actually want to do, only to come back because the harsh reality of the world hits and they realize to themselves that what they want to do will not fit. And they say to themselves "I can't do this." So it goes back to lawyers and doctors and when asked why they can try and list all that they offer. But the one main reason is usually for the money, my dream job is a lawyer not only to bring justice to our corrupt world, but to make enough to provide for my future family and to provide for my future wants and needs.

It's my right to tell people that I want to do it for the money without getting looks of shame, it's my right to want to do it for the money without people telling me I should think otherwise, and it's my right to want to be able to have a dream job that maybe isn't something I initially wanted. It is my right, and that is what I want to grow up to do, protect anyone else who believes it is their right, because my goal is to bring justice to what I believe is right.
