Why I want to became a lawyer

After graduating "from this bachelor program, I want to became a


lawyer.
Becoming an attorney is an exciting and noble goal, beyond that, you'll
know at the end of every day's work that you've helped someone, often
profoundly.
A career as a lawyer is an extraordinary calling. However, becoming a
lawyer is an enormous undertaking in terms of time commitment and financial
investment. Therefore, it is important to learn as much about the profession as
possible before you embark on a career path as a lawyer.
For generations, a career as a lawyer has been a hallmark of prestige.
Impressive degrees, generous salaries, and an authority over others have
placed lawyers in an elite circle of professionals who command respect and
embody the definition of success. Today, lawyers still enjoy a unique
professional status and a glamorous image perpetuated by the media.
Lawyers are in a unique position to help individuals, groups, and
organizations with their legal problems and further the public good. Public
interest lawyers champion legal causes for the greater good of society and help
those in need of legal assistance who might not otherwise be able to afford a
lawyer.
Working as a lawyer is one of the most intellectually rewarding jobs on
the planet. From helping to patent a trade secret to devising a trial strategy to
forming a multi-million dollar merger, lawyers are problem-solvers, analysts
and innovative thinkers whose intellect is crucial to career success.
As the legal profession evolves, increased industry segmentation and
specialization have led to a broad array of sub-specialties. Lawyers can
specialize in one or several niche areas ranging from bread-and-butter practices
such as employment law and civil litigation to niche specialties such as green
law or foreclosure law.
As lawmakers, thought leaders and change agents, lawyers are in a
unique position to affect societal change. For centuries, lawyers have stood at
the center of society; they write the laws, rule the courts and hold influential
positions in government. In these roles, lawyers are able to impact top
policymakers and leaders and affect change around the globe.
Lawyers are autonomous and have the ability to make their own hours,
set their own fees and choose their own clients and practice areas. The job has
an inherent flexibility that allows lawyers to attend to personal matters or
spend a day away from the office if needed.
The majority of lawyers work in law firms, government, and corporations.
In an age where cubicles have become the mainstay of the modern workplace,
lawyers typically work in an office with four walls. Lawyers in larger firms enjoy
plush offices, ample support staff and a variety of office perks ranging from
gym memberships to box seats at sporting events.
A career as a lawyer also offers a number of other perks. For example,
some lawyers travel the country, or the world, to participate in trials,
depositions, arbitrations, and business deals.

Other lawyers rub shoulders with business leaders, politicians, sports


figures and even celebrities. Another perk of practicing law is learning to think
like a lawyer: studying law sharpens your analytical, reasoning and critical
thinking skills, giving you a new perspective on the world.

Becoming a lawyer means learning how to to negotiate and learning how


to manage people.

Without law we would be in ruins.
