Although the term wasn’t in use back in the early 1970s, I was very aware throughout my college years of being a first-gen student. As a result, I thought I shouldn’t veer far from the practical in choosing courses, which for me meant classes that would help me become a successful lawyer. Fortunately, a pre-law curriculum is not very constraining, so I was free to take any class that seemed interesting. (That was certainly true at Santa Clara University, where I spent my first two years because it had a good local reputation and I could save money by living at home.) And because the lawyers I read about outside of class, such as Clarence Darrow and F. Lee Bailey, were gifted amateur psychologists, I took a psychology course and loved it. Then another; same reaction.
