Would anyone be willing to answer the questions for this quick written interview for my school assignment?

Would anyone would be willing to answer a few questions about their job in the legal field? I am a student at Purdue Global in LS100. I would need to use your name to submit to the professor of my class so she knows who I spoke with. I've included the questions below. Feel free to skip any questions you don't have time for- I'd be deeply grateful for any insight you can provide! 1. What are the educational requirements for your job? 2. On a typical workday, which task is the most frequent one to take up your time, and what would be a misconception about what a legal worker actually does? 3. Without disclosing any confidential or sensitive information, what is one type of ethical problem you encountered in your job and how have you resolved the problem? 4. What are the best aspects of your job and the worst aspects (if any)? 5. Did you have another career path in mind, and if so, what made you choose the legal route? 6. What do you hope to achieve in the future in your career? 7. Are there any particular systemic problems you have seen in your field in general? 8. Do you find balancing work and other obligations challenging, and if so, what methods do you use to balance work and other life obligations? 9. If you could say one thing to someone considering this path, what would it be? 10. If you had the ability to instantly fix one problem in your field, what would it be? 11. What is one rewarding memory from your job?
