Why Did You Become an Attorney? – Thaddeus Wendt

The reason I wanted to become a lawyer is because I didn’t want to be a lawyer, actually. So I first wanted to be an F-16 fighter pilot. Made it into the Air Force Academy. I told me I couldn’t fly, but I actually did really well in high school on the debate team. So it was just kind of a natural segue for me. Once I knew that I wasn’t gonna be able to be a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force, I started pursuing whatever I needed to do to get into the law school track. And from there, the rest is history.
