I want to be a lawyer when I grow up. Will it be hard?
Find answers to your legal question.





I want to be a lawyer when I grow up. Will it be hard?

My sister says that all jobs are hard but I want to know things like how much money you get, how much time it takes up and if you enjoy it. Will it be worth it. I am smart but I just want to know what I am getting in to and the details. Any more information will be very much appreciated.

To start you'll have to finish high school with good grades and then attend college where you'll also need good grades. After graduation from college you can apply for law school. If accepted, depending somewhat on your grades again, you'll go to law school for two more years. Then, after graduation, you can take the Bar exam in your state. Should you pass you're a lawyer.

Again, at this stage it's all in your grades at school. Do your best and try hard. Good luck.

Yes, it will be VERY, VERY difficult. The field of Law is very competitive, and unless you know someone (mommy and/or daddy already a member of a law firm), you probably won't be able to find a job.

Warning! Jobs in the field of Law are drying up FAST!! This is NOT a good field to invest in!! Many reasons. Main reason? We simply have WAY TOO MANY Lawyers - we have a GLUT of Attorneys!

Which means.....even IF you finish law school, you probably won't be able to find a job when you are done - plus you'll owe approx $150,000+ in debts.

The law schools won't tell you this - law students are easy money for them - the law schools have to make very little investment in a law student. The law schools continue to churn out graduates even though they know the market/economy is SATURATED.

Suggestion: Consider and look into the field of HEALTHCARE! << this is where the jobs are! and scholarships!

Good luck.
