How much would i make being a lawyer?

Ive like always wanted to be a lawyer because idk i just like to argue or defend someone and help them out to win a discussion. but i know the payment ranges from how many times you "win". but how much would i be making if i was a lawyer who had big cases like murder or things like that? And how much would law school cost and where are some?

Being a lawyer is about a lot more than to argue or win a discussion. Is usually is about doing a LOT of paperwork!!! Don't believe the TV shows - that's just the tip of the iceburg - most law jobs are about doing a lot of research and a lot of paperwork.

Warning! Jobs in the field of Law are drying up FAST!!! We simply have WAY TOO MANY lawyers - but the law schools won't tell you this - law students are easy money for them. We have a GLUT of attorneys!

Even IF you make it through law school, you probably won't be able to find a job when you are done. There are many attorneys today working as legal secretaries and/or paralegals simply because there aren't enough jobs out there.

Suggestion: Look into the field of Healthcare! <<< LOTS of jobs there! and scholarships!

Good luck.

80k plus would be salary.
Law school depends on what school you go to, median would be 30k. And there are way too many law schools out there, it wont be hard for you to fine one.
