And don't you find it remotely interesting that Whitmer doesn't mention her brief employment between law school and running for office at age 29?  It's not on her bio, it's not even on her official Wikipedia page.  Nor does she mention her brief return to said employment when she term-limited out? 

What was her job?

This site says she worked as an associate attorney from 1998-2000 at Dickinson Wright. This article suggests she returned there briefly in 2015. Here's more on her career trajectory out of undergrad, from the Detroit Free Press early in her candidacy for Governor:

She had dreams of becoming a sports reporter for ESPN and appears in her high school yearbook as "the budding broadcaster" of the school.  
"I grew up going to football games with my dad and we were just sports fanatics," she said. "I love sports and I thought there were so few women who were in sports broadcasting."
But while getting a bachelor's degree in communications at Michigan State University, she did an internship with state Rep. Curtis Hertel, D-Detroit, when the House of Representatives was split 55-55 between Democrats and Republicans.
"It changed everything for me," she said. "I saw how important it was that we all have a voice during the debates."
So instead of using her degree to get a job at a local television station and maybe work her way up to ESPN, Whitmer went to MSU's law school and got a law degree.
"I got some really good advice when a friend said there are so few people who actually make it on air. And bringing a legal degree allows you to bring something more to the table," Whitmer said. "But I loved law school and never looked back."
Right out of law school, she got a job with the Dickinson Wright law firm in Lansing, working on cases dealing with the regulation of utilities as well as doing some legal work for the Funeral Director's Association. It wasn't exactly exciting work, but it led her back to what really sparked her interest: public service.
