Jess Salomon leaves human rights law for stand-up comedy

If you ever feel like you’re drawn to something that just isn’t “realistic”, think about Jess’s story. It's hard to make a bigger leap than from international human rights at the Hague to stand-up comedy.

In this episode we discuss:

• The limited view of career options many of us have
• Jess’s career in international criminal law
• At the end of the day, practicing law is still practicing law - even in an interesting context
• Looking down the career path, Jess realized she wasn’t excited to practice forever
• Watching Jon Stewart inspired Jess to combine her interests in politics and comedy
• She took a huge risk and went all in on comedy
