Become the kind of lawyer who wrote the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts and who defends people who can’t afford a lawyer when they’re arrested or who defends those of us who commit civil disobedience. Don’t become a teacher; become a facilitator at a Sudbury school so you don’t have to spend your career drilling and killing and teaching kids that reading, math and history suck. Don’t become a child “protective” social worker because they don’t help abused kids; their job is to protect society from future “super predators.” Don’t become a doctor because they don’t make money unless you’re sick. Do become a journalist like Sy Hersh, Chris Hedges, and Glenn Greenwald.
