All the way through Law School

to get a job as a sexretary? Why bother? The secretary's job does not equate to an internship, a lot of which are done in the summer time and a receptionist is not a career pattern to work as a lawyer.

The premise is weak

Like the first person noted, it's pretty unrealistic that she works her butt off to make it through law school, and then takes a job as a receptionist at a law firm. I work in the legal field, and that is so extremely unlikely to happen. Even if no jobs at all are open as an attorney, it is much more likely that with her advanced degrees (a B.A. or B.S. from a four-year college plus her law school degree), that she would be able to apply for a whole host of mid-level corporate jobs. So why did you make her a receptionist, which is really bottom rung in most any office?<br><br>

This may sound like nitpicking, but for a story to be really good, it should also feel believable. To me, if a person worked hard to make it through law school then settled for a receptionist job, that doesn't jive. It throws off the rest of the story as well.
