Okay, so I have a friend. She is fucking awesome. She’s also a Brazilian Lawyer. She’s bffs with members of the Supreme Court, she has SO MANY STORIES.One day she went to Australia for her friend’s wedding. She went back a few months later with half her shoe collection and her wedding dress; she’d fallen madly in love with an Australian man (spoilers, this is 100% a true love story happy ending there like a fairy tale it’s nuts).So then so goes to get a job in Australia. And nowhere hires her. It takes her ages but finally she gets a job. As a second assistant to a conveyance clerk - not a clerk herself, and the clerk is not a lawyer (though 100% respect to this guy. He’s brilliant and for him to go to law school would actually legally mean a pay cut he is that good).Top Brazilian lawyer —> conveyance assistant. And people kept saying she was dumb. And being very surprised to learn that she wasn’t. Fortunately there were two native Spanish speakers in the office, which is just about close enough to Portuguese for her to be understood if they needed to discuss something. -- source link
