I thought about going to law school, but upon researching it further, there are things that all people should know before even considering it.
1) It's a tough process to become a lawyer. Law school I hear is very difficult and even getting in is hard. There's a pre law school standardized test and the BAR exam, as well as a character test which checks your criminal record.
2) It's a rough start. Going to college and law school is going to cost a lot of money. It's a tough job market when you first become a lawyer and starting lawyers don't make much money at all. Don't expect to be a millionaire any time soon.
3) Stress. Working at least 60 hours a week, bringing your work home with you on vacation, never seeing your family, being under constant pressure.
4) You're not going to be an Atticus Finch. You won't even see an inside of a court room until you become an experienced lawyer. While many politicians and other socially prestigious people are lawyers, entering law doesn't guarentee social connections.
