Career: Lawyers
Lawyers - What are Lawyers? What do Lawyers do?
Well let me explain what are lawyers, and what they do:
- A lawyer is a person who practices or studies law as a barrister, attorney, counselor, or chartered legal executive.
- Now what lawyers do - Lawyers represent clients in criminal and civil cases, and other legal proceedings, draw up legal documents, or manage or advise clients on legal transactions.
Educational Requirement:
If you want to become a Lawyer/Law Firm - You'll need a Doctoral or Professional Degree
Steps for your road to becoming a Lawyer is -
- Must attend a four-year college, and achieve a bachelor's degree
- After you've attended a four-year college, then you must attend Law School for 3 years.
- After you have got all your training, you will have to take the final and challenging step - The Bar Exam, usually students take a 2 month prepare course, since the Bar Exam is really challenging, it's either you pass - or fail.
The range of net worth a Lawyer can make can range from $62,250 - 155,037$
Reflection Paragraph:
I've learned that becoming a lawyer isn't as easy as what I thought it to be, it's going to take a lot of learning and studying to become a lawyer and uphold the duties as a law firm, though lawyers make a good amount of money, it still takes a lot of work to get that money people are always talking about, if you're a lawyer that can't win any cases, I don't think the state/court will pay you very much. Right now, I'm debating whether or not to still try and become a lawyer, since I now realize how much education (how much YEARS of education) it will take to become a Lawyer, and it could go to waste if I fail the Bar Exam, I don't think it will be a easy task, but for sure it's still a option. Maybe once the years go by, I might start thinking on persuading that career, being a Lawyer doesn't seem that boring right now, for now, I'm thinking the career for me is a possibility, not a guaranteed.
