Kate Dwyer, a public interest fellow and legal advocate, shares her bold decision to step off the traditional law school conveyor belt and prioritize her mental health over societal expectations. In this inspiring episode, Kate talks about the realities of failing the bar exam, why the path to becoming a lawyer isn’t one-size-fits-all, and how trusting yourself can lead to a fulfilling and impactful career.

Lawyer Side Hustles

Kate’s journey demonstrates that a legal career doesn’t have to follow a straight path. By stepping back from the bar exam and prioritizing her well-being, she opened herself up to non-traditional roles that still utilize her legal education. For lawyers and law students alike, Kate’s story highlights the value of exploring JD-advantage jobs or side hustles that provide fulfillment outside of traditional practice.

“There are jobs out there where my law degree is not going to waste, but actually helping me bring something different to the table,” shares Kate Dwyer in Episode 173 of You Are a Lawyer.

Lawyers can combine their passions and practical skills to create meaningful careers without sacrificing their mental health. Whether it’s advocacy, public interest work, or project management, Kate encourages others to trust themselves and seek out roles that align with their values and aspirations.
