Find answers to your legal question.





Will a law degree leave me cursed with a boring life of contracts and paperwork?

I feel like I have made the wrong choice, should I just finish?

Many comedians are lawyers. Why not give stand up a go! Seriously, law will open the door to many careers that are not legal practice. Use your law degree as a base. You do not have to go into legal practice.

no it won't, that's why you employ legal secretaries


Hovis
i think so
but i would finish it in all a degree is a degree


Mr. Bugsme
If you're not enjoying it, then you made a mistake in going to law school. Fortunately, you don't have to be a lawyer to benefit from a law degree. It opens the door to many types of careers (businessman, journalist, author, etc.).

yeah.. thats probably where you'll end up. the plus side being that you'll make some nice bank. they say money cant make you happy. but you can use it to buy you time, which is valueable :)

no. there's a ton of things you can do as a lawyer. legal librarian, international relations, business, copyright issues, etc.

Most likely, if you dont want a desk job then you probably should not become a lawyers. Unless you want to be a prosecution or a defence lawyer, you will still be behind a desk most of the time.

You could go into criminal law if you don't like paperwork or get a job with the Public Defender, the District Attorney or the Attorney General handling criminal cases.

Think of the cash at the end of the rainbow, and the cases your going to solve. It must be the money that drives you to continue....(smile)

That would depend on whether you're going into conveyancing or defending mass murderers!
