Kim Kardashian wanted to follow in her late father Robert Kardashian’s footsteps and pursue a career in law, but she’s had to give up on her dreams because of her busy life

Kim Kardashian will “no doubt feel disappointment” after giving up her dreams of becoming a lawyer, according to an expert.

The 43-year-old studied hard to try and follow in her late father Robert Kardashian’s footsteps and even passed the baby bar exam. However, a source has said Kim’s business ventures and family life have taken centre stage and forced her to give up on her law dreams.

The reality star owns a number of companies and has to find the time to look after her four kids. PR expert Mayah Riaz has suggested Kim gave up on studying law after facing a “setback”, but insisted she should be commended for her decision.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, the PR to the stars said: “Only Kim will know if the decision to give up law is right for her – and as she has come to this decision, it seems it is the right one for her. On one hand it could be seen as a setback or failure, especially considering the public statements she made about her passion for pushing for prison reform.

“And it will no doubt lead to some disappointment among her fans and those who admired her for taking on such a challenging endeavour.” However, Mayah added: “It’s important to remember that everyone has their own priorities and limitations, and I’d say it’s commendable that Kim recognises her own limitations and made the decision to prioritise her family and other business ventures.

“It’s no secret that she found the study process tedious and challenging, and there’s something to be said about prioritising mental well-being and avoiding burnout.” Despite making a decision that was right for her, Mayah said Kim might still feel some disappointment.

She explained: “In terms of her father’s memory, Kim will have no doubt felt disappointment and sadness about having to give up her law journey. But I would suggest that she remembers that honouring someone’s memory can take many forms and she can continue to support prison reform efforts through other means.

“She has a huge platform which she can use to raise awareness or could financially supporting relevant organisation – and that too can be in her father’s memory. I don’t think this will have a negative impact on Kim’s image and reputation. She has given it a go and now won’t be wondering ‘what if’ when she looks back at this period.”

A source previously said Kim found the “never-ending study” for her law exams “tedious”. They told The Sun: “She can’t drop it without looking bad, looking like she couldn’t pass it after all the work and all of her talk about how passionate she was about pushing for prison reform.”

They continued: “She really struggled with the study, hated having to do the outlines and essays required to even be at a competent level and it was going to take her a few years of study to pass the exams and a few likely fails. She did some midterm exams last year and they finished her off.”
