OK - a few more posts until we wrap this up.
We have discussed both why and why not you should go to law school. Let's ask a very basic question here: if you want to go to law school, ask yourself how did you first get interested in the law?
Every lawyer I spoke with always has some story of what first "inspired" them to be a lawyer. It can be many things:
1. TV shows or movies (let's face it, this is how most of us first explore the idea of being a lawyer)
2. Family member or friend who is a lawyer
3. An encounter with the law (hopefully not a negative encounter)
4. A career day in high school or college
5. Reading a novel which features a lawyer as a hero (YEAH!) or villain (yeah, it happens)
6. A class which turned out to be a prelaw class in high school or college
7. Working with lawyers
It is important to examine first how you came to be interested in the law as a career to really find out if a career in law is for you.
