I thought about quitting during the clerkship. I calculated the fastest route between Pasadena and the city where my fiancé was living. I checked plane ticket prices and read my lease to see if I could afford to break it. I would look at my savings (meager) and calculate how long it would take me to get a job, a paycheck.
I wondered if I anyone would hire me if I said, “well, yes, I quit my clerkship, and I can’t talk about it for judicial confidentiality reasons, and…no, the Judge won’t give me a recommendation, and…yes, you have it right, I got through six months of this but I just couldn’t manage the last six.”
I had over a hundred thousand dollars in student loans. I couldn’t risk it.
