haha, whats with this board and wanting to become lawyers? I wanted to go into law for a while, but 8 years in school is a little much for me. Both of my neighbors are lawyers and they make good money (ones a corporate lawyer and his wifes a crown prosecutor). And when I really thought about it, I didn't think law was the way to go. One of my friends went through the same thing. She wanted to go into family law, and after 2 years of school decided to drop out for a semester and take radio broadcasting. Needless to say, her grandparents were choked (her mom passed away when she was 3).
I am taking a real estate sales course because deep down it is what I have always been interested in, but my parents always discouraged me because of comission salary and the general lack of younger people succeeding in the industry.
A month or so ago, there was an article in the paper on young people going into real estate, and when teamed up with someone with experience- became quite successful. I will be partnering with my moms best friend as soon as my course in complete in March.
Take some time, do some soul searching. There is nothing worse than feeling like your are being forced into something you don't want to do.
