please i need some advice?

Question

what would be most suitable to major in if you were wanting to have a career as any of these?

a lawyer, successful businesswoman, or work for the government?

Answer 1

First of all (contrary to one of the previous posts), you are not required to major in pre-law studies in college to go to law school. On the contrary, you can study any subject and still go to law school. For example, I studied chemistry in college and later went to law school (and became a patent lawyer). Certainly, there are some classes that you might find interesting/helpful if you're interested in going to law school (e.g., a logic course, a constitutional law course, or maybe even a business law course). However, my advice would be to study what interests you and take a few law-related courses on the side (if you're interested in going to law school).

To become a businesswoman, there are several subjects you may want to study. You could study business or economics. However, if you have particular kind of business you're interested in (e.g., construction, architecture, fashion, art), you may wish to study a particular topic and minor in business or accounting.

As for working for the government, that's a tough question to answer because there are several types of government jobs that each require particular kinds of skills. For example, if you want to work for the IRS, you may want to study accounting. If you wanted to work for the FBI in their cybercrime department, you may want to study computer science. However, without knowing what kind of government job you want, I can't really suggest a particular major.

Answer 2

Well to become a lawyer, you would probably want to major in pre-law but then you would also have to go to law school and get your J.D.

To become a successful businesswoman, you could get your undergrad in business administration, international business, or basically any major offered by the college of business at your university. It all depends on what interests you, ie. finance, real estate, marketing etc. These would all set you up for an MBA.

The U.S. government is huge and needs people from all backgrounds, it all depends on what you want to do. You could get a degree is political science, or public policy and work for a congressperson, a degree in language and work for the CIA or FBI, a degree in biology and work for the EPA, or become an engineer and work for NASA.
