Impack of risky behaviour on personal expectations in relation to law career
Answers
Answer:
Here's your answer
Explanation:
Depends on what the risky behavior is. I work in a very old and lethargic industry, were everyone tends to know everyone else (very small world) and that expects everyone is married and has kids by the time they are 30. It’s also tends to be very conservative and religious, which I am definitely not religious. I am also gay and that just doesn’t fly in my industry and especially not at my level.
What happens if clients/exec mgmt I work with find out? Most will simply stop doing business with you or significantly decrease the amount of business they do with you. Companies will generally make your life a living hell until you quit. Do I hide in the closet? No, but my personal life and professional life stay very separated and I don’t disclose the information unless someone asks me directly if I am gay. I don’t work in an office so I don’t have a lot of non-work discussions with co-workers. Since I’m not married telling someone you are still single, mid 30s and like to “play the field” vs settling down, usually ends the conversation since they are normally married with kids and there is a disconnect.
To your original question though, what is the ultimate impact if my industry finds out? Most likely I’d have a hard time getting a new job and likely have to switch industries. To that I say “If that’s how it was meant to be, then that’s how it’s gonna be.” Life gives you lemons make lemonades!

Risky behaviour is a very subjective experience, what is risk to you might not be risky to me, life is a risk experience, people prefer sometimes to live in the illusion of control and that's ok, ok but you can have calculated risk or spontaneous risk, on careers or life it's still degrees of risk whichever way you look at it life is a risk experience, existing is the illusion of safety, but in my opinion not making any risks is the ultimate risk itself because regret is something you can only discover when it's to late.

Some careers have little risk like a quality chemist- follow the rules. It pays less than those that have much risk. I was a Brand Manager. Everything sold in a store has a woman or a guy like me behind it. You are a business within a corporation.
I knew it was a very risky job. I took a page from the Samurai code. It says the thing that kills the warrior in battle is his choosing life over death. The man who is already dead, whose world is dead who chooses death in favor of his master is invincible. He has no fear of death or in my case being fired
