I went to Princeton and Harvard Law School.
But I don't think you have to necessarily go to elite institutions in order to really make it.
You need to work hard.
that you shouldn't put yourself in a place where you're not gonna feel comfortable and, what's the word, empowered, like I refuse to take Javor and Berg's invitation for a tenure track position at Harvard Law School.
I'll tell you one other story that illustrates this.
I was originally pre-med.
My freshman, sophomore years at Princeton, I was in the pre-med program.
Why?
Because my parents wanted me to marry the daughter of our family physician.
And the idea was, I was gonna go to medical school, and I was gonna go into medical practice with him in Hackensack, New Jersey.
We had moved from Brooklyn at the time.
Long story why we had to move from Brooklyn had to do with my father's having a problem with the furries union and having his life threatened.
And we moved to Maywood, New Jersey, because he got a job in a fur shop in Passaic, New Jersey.
And a family physician, they had three daughters, the oldest of whom was my age.
She went to Hackensack High School.
I went to Bogota High School.
They're both in North Bergen County.
And the idea was that she and I were gonna marry.
I was gonna become, I was gonna go to medical school.
I was going to take, become a partner of her father in his medical practice in Hackensack.
