Okay yeah we've all heard that one before. And honestly, it frustrates me.
Everyone here talks about how you have to have a near perfect gpa + LSAT score to get in to a t14 and even then are dubious about how worth law school is in the end, AND TO TOP IT OFF go on to warn/complain (idk which) about how stressful it is to be a lawyer.
Okay I'm seriously considering becoming a lawyer/lobbyist/working in DC after I graduate law school and I want to hear some input from people who ARE lawyers/lobbyists/have parents, friends, or know of older people who are lawyers and how they are liking their job.
What if you LIKE debating and arguing for something or a good cause or whatever? What if you WANT to go to law school and better the world through rhetoric? Is there no positive outlook on being a lawyer at all? Is everyone in the right and am I just being optimistic about what I want to do and that I can be happy with my career when I grow up?
