first and foremost, the career choices that OTHER PEOPLE MAKE is not something for you to get, appreciate or criticise. i'll take an extreme example - suppose someone has a exhibitionist fetish and loves getting naked if front of webcams for money, ARE YOU in the moral position to judge what he/she can or cannot do? the same point arises with law.gbangin said:...what the hell do you see in wanting to be a lawyer?
Seriously, there are so many of you that have this crazy ambition to become a lawyer, and i don’t understand it?
Is it the money?
Is it the challenge of getting guilty people out their punishment?
I just don’t understand it, lawyers are such bloodthirsty, greedy people, eager to make as much money for themselves out of other peoples misery as possible.
I don’t get it...?
i've already written a lot about a legal career, outlined in this thread. they will answer the first couple of your questions.
the last question, however, is a what i call fucking archaic stereotype. yes, in classical literature the lawyer was often vilified, because he was seen to prey off other people's misfortunes, but the same can be said of doctors and funeral directors. the lawyer of today, however, is recognised as a professional, with a professional and ethical codes of conduct, and the legal profession has recognised complaint systems.
so before you bitch about why other people want to make a career choice out of law (not that it is any of your business anyway), consider the facts first. but then again, your ignorance can be forgiven on account of your age.
