How much education is needed to be a Lawyer? Also to be a physician?

I am really trying to figure out a great career path for myself. I am still young but am getting a 4 year late start.

A law degree and a medical degree respectively.

Google it. I'm always curious about this kind of stuff. I just look online. I'm 24 and still trying to figure out what the hell I'm going to do. Just try to picture where you can see yourself.

for a lawyer, i recommend that you get at least degree in law from a good school. You also want to have really good grades as this will determine which school you will be accepted to.

a physician may require a medical degree.

You've got a detailed reply on becoming a lawyer, so I'll just discuss the physician question.
Most colleges recommend you major in pre-med as an undergraduate; that means you take a lot of science courses such as biology and physics. You take the MCAT - Medical College Aptitude Test - and if you do very well, you get into medical school, which is 4 more years. When you graduate, you are an MD but you must spend 1 -2 years as an intern, working in a hospital 10-12 hours a day for low pay, observing senior doctors as they work. Then you choose a specialty and become a resident doctor in your specialty; depending on the specialty that can be 2-4 years. The total years of study and training is 12-15 years before you practice medicine on your own.

4 years of college plus at least 2-4 years of medical/law school.


anonymous
4 years of undergrad
4 years of grad school

then to be a physician you will have to complete a residency which is an additional few years.
