I’m a 27 years old lawyer who did one year of civil litigation, and started a 1 year masters program in taxation.

The program is three semesters, I completed 2, and went to the first week of the third and last semester, but found out that I got kicked out of the program for not meeting by the academic requirement of 2.7.

I also got hired by a big4 accounting job following completion, in september. I fear that I may lose my job offer as the masters was conditional to my job offer.

I just had to finish this summer semester and I would have been done with school and could go to the workforce.

I have an appointment with the program director tomorrow.

What do I do? Do I give up? Do I go back to doing litigation?

Does this mean I should give up my dream?

I’m a 27 years old lawyer who did one year of civil litigation, and started a 1 year masters program in taxation.

I’ve never been very ‘book smart’, I always struggle with taking exams, but I work hard and continue to try my best.

The program is three semesters, I completed 2, and went to the first week of the third and last semester, but found out that I got kicked out of the program for not meeting by the academic requirement of 2.7.

I feel empty, devastated, as it took me two years to boost up my gpa to get in the program, because I really wanted this. I do well in projects or assignments, but when it comes to exams, I struggle.

I failed the bar exam once, and I tried again and passed.

I also got hired by a big4 accounting job following completion, in september. I fear that I may lose my job offer as the masters was conditional to my job offer.

I just had to finish this summer semester and I would have been done with school and could go to the workforce.

I know I am not a book smart person, but I try three times as hard to follow my dreams.

I have an appointment with the program director tomorrow and I don’t know what is going to happen to me.

I just feel so hopeless. I don’t know if I have it in me to change schools and do another 2 years of schooling.

I was also excited to be financially independent and not have to rely on my parents.

I just don’t know why I am so stupid.

What do I do? Do I give up? Do I go back to doing litigation?

I was working for a solo practionner and not only was I underpaid and overworked (maybe minimum wage considering all the overtime I did), but had a mentor who was never present.

I don’t know what to do with my life.

I feel so lost.

I study hours in the weekend, don’t drink or party, I skipped alot social events for this masters, just to have it all taken away from me.

Why am I so stupid?

Does this mean I should give up my dream? I don’t know.

I feel so empty knowing that I can’t go to class this week, I can’t sleep at night.

I am so tired.
