Camille’s Answer

To be honest, becoming a lawyer is very EXPENSIVE (my law loans are almost $200,000) and time-consuming. And only worth it if you really want to be a lawyer. It's a professional degree and really only good for that.


Law school takes 3 full years after college. Then you have to take a bar exam. It is very time-consuming and expensive.


While you're in college, you can try getting a legal internship, try out a mock trial team/debate team if your school has it, and take legal classes your school offers. You also want to work on legal writing, being a lawyer is a lot of writing and research. These classes and activities can give you a glimpse of what the law is about.


After college,if you are still interested in law, I would recommend going to work for a law firm as a legal assistant or paralegal first. You can get an idea what the practice of law is like, and do that for at least a few years. Become a very good paralegal, and you may want to just do that. You can possibly earn pretty decent money and not be saddled with a ton a debt from law school.


Plus, as a paralegal it is easier to move around and find a job. For a lawyer, it can be difficult often because you have to be licensed in a particular state to practice there. Taking a bar exam is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, so often that can make someone not want to move again.
