#Pre-LawProblems

Right after I tell someone I am interested in becoming an attorney they inevitably ask, “Nice, do you know what type of lawyer you want to be?” Here are a list of reasons why you should stop asking this question to pre-law majors!


1. We don’t want to become emotionally invested in a specific career when theres a chance that many of us might not even get accepted to a law school.

2. So many people go into law school thinking they are going to practice a certain type of law and leave interested in something completely different than what they expected to get into.
 
3. There are so many options to choose from, how can anyone decide what field of law they are going to get into without exploring all of their options? For example there are real estate lawyers, tax lawyers, adoption lawyers, divorce lawyers, corporate lawyers, and medical malpractice lawyers just to name a few.

On behalf of all my fellow pre-law peers out there, please stop asking us twenty-one questions because we’re probably already stressed out and we don't have everything figured out. Honestly, if I could look in a crystal ball and see what type of law I am going to be practicing in the future, I wouldn’t even want to because I feel like not knowing exactly what my future holds is exciting.
