I am an English major and I have recently learned that one of the job opportunities for majors such as me is lawyer. My mother has been constantly pushing me to be a lawyer (she's not crazy about it, though; she thankfully allows me the freedom to choose my career path) and though I agree it is a noble profession, I also understand that at times it is not so noble.
It's not really the public speaking, or the endless hours of investigation and research and memory work that intimidates me. What DOES scare me is that at times lawyers have to defend the wrong people and make it seem as though they are in the right, all for the sake of cash. That is the one thing that I find unattractive about being a lawyer.
So for all the lawyers who frequent Y!A, I'd appreciate it a lot if you could give me AT LEAST 5 very good reasons why a person should become a lawyer despite this "risk", aside from the usual "pay is good" or "it's a noble profession" answers.
Thanks. :)
