Are you a law student aiming to clerk for an administrative law judge in Texas? Well, if you mention your love of travel somewhere on the bottom of your resume, you’d better be prepared to trade travel stories — especially if the judge before you is Angela L. Dixon. From AAMU:
Alabama A&M alumna Angela L. Dixon is an attorney, administrative judge and college professor who loves to travel. Despite her busy schedule, the Mobile, Alabama native says the opportunities she experienced at AAMU helped fuel a passion for travel. Today, she has managed to visit all 50 states and all seven continents.

“I’ve been traveling since I was 16 when I went on my first flight to San Francisco with my parents,” says Dixon. “While at A&M, I traveled to Oregon for a summer program which took me back to the west coast. When I graduated, I took a job as a federal employee with the Department of the Army after interviewing on campus and moved to Pennsylvania. That’s when I began to travel more because work trips took me all over the country.”
While working for the Army is a bit of a travel hack, it goes to show that working and travel aren’t mutually exclusive. This goes double if you’re not working at a firm with a mandatory in-office policy — make the most of your situation! Drafting documents can be a pain, but trust that it feels a lot better to work on a beach than in a cubicle.
