I took two law classes the past year and I'm sort of getting into it and my professor said she can see me being a good lawyer some day. I get mixed reviews about it though; some tell me it's a rewarding, intellectually stimulating job, while others tell me it's a miserable job that pays 6-figures.
Lawyers can be scum, to be a respectable lawyer is tough, sometimes you need to do shit you don`t want to, to get the verdict you want. You gotta have balls, but if you have been told you`d be good, its probably true. Go for it. It takes alot of schooling however.
