KIM Kardashian has admitted she would consider a life “without the cameras” and work as an attorney full-time.
Kim, 42, was speaking to CNN anchor Poppy Harlow at the 2023 TIME100 Summit on Tuesday when she spoke about her legal career.

“You’re pretty close to becoming a lawyer, how close?” Poppy asked her at one point.
“I’m probably going to take the Bar in February 2025,” Kim replied as she sat on stage in a transparent suit.
Poppy then asked the mother of four: “Do you think this will be your life’s most meaningful work ahead?”
“I hope so, I hope so,” Kim replied before mentioning her mom Kris Jenner.
“I always joke with my mom, who is my manager, I say, ‘Kim K is retiring, and I’m just gonna be an attorney. So you can go help my siblings, so you can still have a job,'” she laughed.
Referring to the family’s successful reality TV career, Poppy then asked: “Would you ever consider a life without the cameras?”
Kim didn’t hesitate to answer and quickly fired back: “Yeah, absolutely. I do feel like I have a… there’s a lot that’s always on TV and a lot that’s always out there, but I think my friends and my family know that we really cherish a lot of our private times.”
She admitted: “And I would be just as happy being an attorney full-time and doing that.
“The journey just really opened up my eyes to so much, that it just gets overwhelming because there’s so much to be done.
“I would totally spend more time doing that, cameras or no cameras,” Kim revealed.
KIM’S CAREER
Kim is currently participating in an apprenticeship program after turning her attention to criminal justice reform in recent years.
Speaking on the Law&Crime network late last year, her mentor attorney Jessica Jackson explained that the TV personality is currently doing a four-year apprenticeship under her watch.

Kim began the process in 2019, just one year after she successfully lobbied then-President Donald Trump to sign a bill assisting prison and sentencing reform, The First Step Act.
But the Skims boss will not become a fully-fledged lawyer until she passes the bar exam.
Kim is taking an unusual route to becoming a lawyer because she does not hold an undergraduate degree.
California is one of seven states that allows budding lawyers to study under a mentor for four years instead of going to college.
“Now I will tell you, that is a much, much harder path,” Jessica explained at the time.
“Because you’re essentially not just working on cases the whole time, but you don’t have professors, you’re having to learn all of the legal doctrines yourself.
She continued: “You have to be self-motivated to crack open these old law books and learn all the cases. You’re having to figure it out – it’s very, very difficult.”
RAISING THE BAR
Jessica praised her student for using her global platform as a major celebrity to raise awareness on justice issues.
“She really has just changed the narrative on criminal justice reform,” the human rights attorney said.
“She’s incredible, just such a powerhouse. She’s an entrepreneur, she’s a mom, she’s also a law student.”
Jessica also revealed that Kim was giving extra attention to her legal studies after she previously failed her first three attempts at the baby bar exam.
“She has prioritized this and, especially recently, has been doubling down her efforts.”
