Hannah Smith is a very lucky woman. She's a law clerk at the Supreme Court. She's the best in the world
Last year, more than forty-two thousand people graduated from law school in the United States. And thirty-seven of them were awarde Supreme Court clerkships. Those thirty-seven people are essentially guarranteed a job for life after they finish their year with the court. Top law firms routinely pay a signing bonus of $200,000 or more to any clerk they are able to hire. Clerks go on to become partners, judges, and senators. There are two things worth noteing here. The first is that Hannah Smith isn't lucky at all. She's smart and focused and incredibly hardworking. The second is any one of the forty-two thousand people who graduated from law school last year could have had Hannah's job. Except they didn't. Not because they weren't smart enough or because they came from the wrong family. No, the reason that most of them didn't have a chance is that somewhere along the way they quit. They didn't quit high school or college or law school.Instead, they quit in their quest to be the best in the world because the cost just seemed to high
