–On the gender/orientation piece, I’d challenge Lippa’s measures of “masculinity” and “femininity” (e.g., extraversion, agreeableness, instrumentality) by referring to Judith Butler’s* work on gender, as summarized by Dr. Mary Klages at UC-Boulder:

*For the record, Butler is a lesbian.
–Thank you for the link re. visual search engines!
–On law school, don’t let the debt scare you off if it’s what you really wanna do. If anything, the article advises knowing your mind upfront. Do you wanna practice corporate law? intellectual property law? international law? I’d like to complicate matters only on one score: mediation rather than litigation is being encouraged on many fronts (e.g., real estate, divorce). I don’t know how the pay is, but you might take inventory to see if you have a peace-making interest in becoming a mediation lawyer! I also mention in passing: law librarians (MLS + JD) make a good living, and there are some really good JD programs that don’t require donating a kidney (though I’m certain you’d end up in a top firm if you end up going that route as a lawyer).
