What does it really take?

Today I am going to talk about what it really takes to be a lawyer. Reason being is so that before you get totally involved in my Law Blog, I am trying to make sure this is really the career for you and what you really want to pursue and do the rest of your life, forever. 

Not to scare you away or anything, because this is a very unfair world and we need all the fairness and support and sanity we can get. 

First thing is first: Law School. Here are some videos of interviews of law students and  their input on what law school is actually like. 

These are videos of key factors and elements one must have to become successful in the law field.

I saved this video for last because the best always comes last. I like the way it describes the life a law student becoming a lawyer. It is very honest and cuts straight to the point. When I watched it, it gave me chills because it not only talks about factual information like the books you have to read, the classes you have to take, the things you can do to catch a good internship or the key points in nailing an interview at a high end law firm. It's about how a human, one person, develops a sense of obsessiveness as this career takes over your life for eight plus years. It's no joke. 
This is what is REALLY takes to be a lawyer, a successful one that is. 

SIDE NOTE

This blog is strictly videos because I have zero experience in law school etc. This can kind of give you a heads up on everything before hand. Meaning I am no lawyer, the best information is given from the experienced and wise. 

Here's a good way to put it... Can you lick a stamp? Well can you lick 5,000 stamps? Well that is what law school is like. Loads and loads of information. 

Looking forward to those who will continue to key into this and try to make the world a better place! (Not that everyone doesn't make the world a better place but where would this world be without the law?) 

See you next time.

Introduction

TOPIC

          This week I wanted to focus on the building blocks and/or steps education wise to becoming a successful lawyer. Primarily you have to obtain a 4 year bachelors degree. Once you have a bachelors degree you can enroll in law school, which typically takes 3-4 years. After all 7-8 schooling years, one has to clear the bar exam and receive a license in their state. 

EVIDENCE

       A huge controversy that most people infer when it comes to Law and Lawyers is all of the school and work that it takes. Well yes another 8 years of school does not sound like fun but  I learned that there are hundreds of different types of law areas you could get a degree in. The hardest part in pursuing a law career is choosing the field that you're most interested in yet an area that you feel you are most knowledgeable towards. Luckily most lawyers do not have to choose a law field until their secondary law school. I personally have not experienced any education in Law, so I won't be able to tell you the guidelines of picking and choosing an area, but it will be covered in a few weeks from a personal lawyer who has done it all. 

ANALYSIS

A great amount of time and effort goes into school, law school, and getting an education in law itself. Attitude is most definitely a key factor. Never doubt yourself because I guarantee you, the lawyers you see now never gave up. Point being it will all be worth it in the end, though throughout everything it takes from the reading, understandings, tests, and work load ; if it is something you enjoy, take advantage of your interest and soak up everything you can. 

MEANING

Through the brief research I have done, its been overwhelming how many classes there are to take. It isn't any joke when they say it is a lot. Good news is there are so many careers you could make out of a law degree or there are also many ares of law you could go into. 

All in all I want viewers to realize that the law is the law. Generally does not change very often. The world is loosing its fairness and I can only hope my blogging will help one realize the importance of everyday needed jobs to make the world go round ; and hopefully I can develope a sense of encouragement to future leaders of our great nation.
