So one of the things that I wanted to kind of make clear in the book was that I was on that track, not to become a lawyer, but to become an academic, right?
So I was the first person in my family to graduate.
And my dad was like, education, education, education, education.
And he was all kind of...
All in, all in.
And also I came of age when it was all about girls getting into education, you know?
And actually, as soon as those doors were open, girls started to out, out, out, out.
Destroyed us in class.
Totally.
Absolutely demolished us.
Because we're really conscientious and good at exams.
But anyway, I digress.
The point is, is that then I like stayed.
I did a BA and then a master's and then a PhD.
And I was like, I'm on track.
I'm doing everything I'm told to do.
And by 31, I had a PhD.
I was earning £10,000 a year, so about $12,000, I think.
A year.
I had a PhD.
