If one receives a law degree, do many opportunities open? What kind of careers can you have with a law degree

Hello, I was just career planning- However, it has come to my attention that a law degree is very powerful. If you believe so too, can you explain what kind of opportunities open? What kind of careers can you have with a law degree? Are there careers in which you can travel and have some time to yourself? Your response is wholly appreciated.

A law degree is useful whether or not you take the bar and practice. A lot of people have law degrees that do various other things.

Basically the process of getting a law degree teaches a person to define the question clearly; a lot of people who don't have law degrees don't even realize that they don't do that. The next step is to determine where the answer will be found, which is often a matter of knowing who is qualified to give the answer; a lot of people listen to anyone that claims expertise on a matter, or accept a journalist as an expert in everything. Finally, and this is where a lot of people in law school and out fail, it's knowing the answer when you see it. Some people see the truth and keep right on looking.

That analytical skill would benefit a person in almost any career, and yes, it will open doors. Some you might not want to go through, but it will open lots of doors.

You could be.......a lawyer. Or a solicitor, or a barrister, a legal secretary or even one day, a judge. All tend to be very busy, but also very well paid. Most large law firms have more than one office, many with partnerships abroad so there is certainly the opportunity to travel and see new places.

I know nothing about degrees in law, however, I did read an interesting article about a chap that specialised in Planning Law. He has been given an eight year contract by one of the construction giants and they pay him approx £80,000 a week!!! Worth a look.

Do you think you will be taking the bar exam ?

I am a bit confused about why you want to be a lawyer if you don't have any idea about what they do ? ? ?
