I'm planning on being a lawyer and i have a few questions.?
|
1. Should i be a defense attorney? Would this be a smart choice?
2. What college did you attend, and recommend? College inside Michigan would be nice, but i will travel outside of the state if necessary. I don't come from a wealthy family so no Harvard, Penn State, Princeton etc.
3. How long did you it take you to graduate, i was thinking 6-8 years is that correct?
4. How long did it take you to pay off your student loans?
5. Are you self employed or work for a firm?
Thank you for answering these questions.

In response to your question:
1. Don't become a defense lawyer if you are defending criminals.
2. I attended USC. And if my family's income was only $65,000, I could have attended Harvard for free because of my high grades in high school. The G.I. Bill financed my education at USC.
3. It took four years for the B.S. degree followed by three years of law school at USC.
4. Since there were no student loans, there was no repayment of any kind.
5. I work at a law firm. And the starting first year salary for an entry level Associate was $152,000.
Good luck! |

Warning! Jobs in the field of Law are drying up FAST!!! This is NOT a good field to invest in right now!!! Many reasons. Main reason?...We simply have WAY TOO MANY Legal Professionals - we have a GLUT. ("Legal Professionals includes, but is not limited to: Attorneys/Lawyers, Paralegals, Legal Assistants, Legal Secretaries, Court Reporters, Bailiffs, etc, etc)
The economy is SATURATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The law schools know this, but they continue to churn out graduates - law students are easy money for them.
So......even IF you finish law school, when you are done you probably won't be able to find a job.
Suggestion: Consider and look into the field of Healthcare <<< LOTS of jobs there! and scholarships! If you want a JOB, when you are done with your studies, look into Healthcare!
Good luck. |
