To anyone who is a lawyer...?

What is it like and why is it rewarding for you? I am thinking I'd like to be one.

I'm a family lawyer and it's good yet sometimes heart breaking, especially in child care cases.
There are also the occasions when I just want to bang people's heads together as they can be quite pathetic about certain matters. On the whole though, it is good, interesting and you meet a variety of different people.

I have been a lawyer for more years than you probably been alive. Its not a bad career but remember this you are generally dealing with people at the lowest point of humanity. What I mean is, in all my years not one person has ever come into my office and asked me to do something nice for his neighbour, its always the other way around. It is rewarding personally when you win a great case, the fee,s are not bad either. But if you want the truth and not the candy answer, I would train to be a plumber or electrician. They earn just as much and certainly have more community respect. Make the correct choice and good luck.

it is very stressful and very nice! u have to deal with a lot of emotions but you must remain a neutral person! Very rewarding money wise and you will retire very early if you are committed! Do it but stay focused you will have a lot of school ahead of you!

I'm not one yet but went to law school. It is challenging to give it your best to win a case for your client.
