RHONJ daughter Gia Giudice is opening up about her decision to pause her law school dreams.
Gia Giudice's long-time dreams of attending law school have been put on pause indefinitely, and she recently shed new light on the decision.
After The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in criminal justice in 2023, she started studying for the LSAT. But Gia has since pivoted and started to focus on her career in influencing.
Gia also just launched her podcast, Casual Chaos, where she explained why she is no longer pursuing becoming a lawyer right now.
Teresa Giudice's oldest daughter revealed in her debut episode on March 24 that around her junior and senior year of college, her influencing career picked up, which brought her new opportunities she couldn't refuse. "Starting to become more active on social media did not deter my love for the law, but it did deter my focus to becoming a lawyer," she admitted.
"If my heart was fully set on becoming a lawyer, I would have had to give up social media, give up everything I was doing, and honestly give up the money coming in. I'm just being real with you," she continued. "So at that point, I was like, 'Am I really going to stop all of this right now?'"
"Don't be mad at me, guys, for not becoming a lawyer. I still love it," she admitted, noting that the opportunities in influencing are "endless."
"It was either, 'Let's make money and have a really good time' or 'Spend four more years in school and be in debt,'" she continued. "It just didn't make sense."
Gia Giudice opens up about studying for the LSAT
Although Gia really loved studying criminal justice and was "good at the work" in school, studying for the law school entrance exam was hard on her. "The LSATs were hard," she admitted. "Like, I was actually driving myself insane. I was studying for a year and a half, spent over $5,000 on tutors."
Studying became even harder for her because of her flourishing social media career. "My tutor literally looked at me one day and said to me, 'If you are not 100 percent invested in this and 100 percent in the game, you could not become a lawyer,'" she recalled. "Because going to law school, studying for your LSATs, it's a full time job."
Would Gia Giudice ever go to law school?
Although her dreams of becoming a lawyer are on pause until further notice, Gia has not yet given up on the idea of attending law school eventually, even if that means becoming a lawyer later in life.
"The chapters not closed," she admitted on the podcast. "I can always pull a Kim [Kardashian] and go back to law school, do it part time. And I know a lot of moms that do that, as well. They're in law school right now, part time."
