Would working as an animal rights/welfare lawyer be a good career choice?
|
I love animals. Since I was little, I've made the decision to dedicate my life to them and improving their lives. Since volunteering at a local animal shelter, I'm completely disgusted by the things some people do to their animals. And because I live by the philosophy of 'If you don't like something, change it': I have started asking myself: How can I change this madness?
One idea was working as an animal rights or an animal welfare lawyer. I know they exist. There are about 20 different fields they cover from bite victims, cruelty, animal custody issues, and so much more. I feel that I'd be able to be the voice for the animals and give them what they deserve.
My question is: Realistically, how good of a dream is this? What is it like being a lawyer? Is it boring? Will animal welfare lawyers make as much as regular lawyers?
I want to do something I enjoy while making a difference in the world. And, of course, I want to be successful woman and make a good living.
How can I prepare for this career while still in high school? What are some other careers if this one doesn't seem good? What are your opinions? What can you tell me about the career?
If it makes a difference... I'm a 15 year old sophomore in Arizona, have a 4.1 GPA, volunteer at the United State's 2nd largest animal shelter every Saturday as an adoptions counselor, and have been interested in law for a while. I just always consider it to be boring and I never thought that the fields would interest me... until I found that animal welfare law existed.
Thank you. :)

That is a great idea, if it is something that you wanna do than GO FOR IT. But it is a lot of work to be a Lawyer especially the BAR EXAM is extremely difficult. |
