Kardashian only announced Monday that she was pursuing a law degree under the guidance of Van Jones, Jessica Jackson, and Erin Haney on nights and weekends.
‘It’s true I did not finish college. You need 60 college credits (I had 75) to take part in “reading the law,” which is an in office law school being apprenticed by lawyers,’ the Marymount High School grad admitted.
‘I’ve seen some comments from people who are saying it’s my privilege or my money that got me here, but that’s not the case.
‘One person actually said I should “stay in my lane.” I want people to understand that there is nothing that should limit your pursuit of your dreams, and the accomplishment of new goals.’
