Alexandra’s Answer

The law degree is also called Juris Doctor, or JD. Many schools offer training in law. I would suggest going to the US News Report on law schools to see some of the higher ranked schools:

I spent 3 years in law school and now I am a tax attorney. Going to law school was worth it for me because I get to work with very smart people on very interesting issues. I also really liked my professors in law schools. They were mentors for me and taught me a lot about life in general.

Fiona’s Answer

Law school and the first 6-8 years of your career will generally be very hard work. For the first six years of my career I was hardly ever home before mid night. It is tough because the learning curve in many areas is often very steep. But it does get much better after that and it is simply a stage that most lawyers have to go through. I have been practicing as a banking and finance lawyer for over 10 years now. Despite the stress and terrible hours (generally at the beginning of your career), i do think it is worth it. I have learned so much.

There are many many different areas of law and they are vastly different. It is important to understand yourself, what your interests, strengths and weaknesses are such that you can determine which area of law is suitable for you. This is an important foundation for your career as you would not want to waste too many years doing something you hate or you are not suited to.
