I want to become a lawyer because I have difficulty in math and science. Also, my mother has told me that from a young age i would argue and argue my point and never give up, even though I was wrong. I enjoy reading, and finding facts that I never knew before and using those facts and putting them into my arguments.

I always have to be right, and I have the drive and the determination to use that work ethic for a case. Law is just so interesting to me, both my parents are in the justice field and it's natural for me to follow in their path. Good pay as long as you work hard, and I've always worked hard. Love to argue.

In addition I'm curious to know, what type of lawyer do you want to be and why?

I know this is going to sound rather cheesy, but I really want to help people that don't have the ability to fight for their rights. I also really love to read, which is necessary to be a lawyer. Also I like to argue. It's quite enjoyable.

There's something about the challenge that comes with being a lawyer that has always attracted me. Not to mention I rather participate in heated debates than sit on the side and watch them.

Personally, I find the field of Law to be quite fascinating. I also am very interested when it comes to Political Sciences (I am quite happy about the last essay I wrote on Social Conflict). I enjoy a good logical challenge, but math and science have never really been quite appealing to me, so law seems to be a good career area for my talents.

I really enjoy the field. Planning (moreso hoping) to go into international law, which ties both of my major interests (politics and law) together.
Of course, it pays well which is also very nice, haha.

I want to be a lawyer not only because I love to argue, but also because I like exploring situations in depth to try and come up with solutions. More so, I enjoy putting in time and effort to come to a agreement or to win an argument. I believe I have the skills that are necessary to be a lawyer and due to this, I think that it would be the ideal career choice for me.

I want to do my grandfather proud and have a career that allows me to be financially secure enough to travel around the world. I like to wear business suits and sexy heels. I like winning, as conceited as that may be, but who doesn't. I don't really like to argue but I like researching about different situations that involve people and figuring out how and why things turned out like they did. I think after I get past all of the hard and boring stuff it'll be a lot of fun, and constantly changing. Except the paper work....but I can deal :)

Law is not about ethics, unless of course you believe defending criminals (many of whom are dead guilty) in criminal law is "ethical". Also, you won't be using "political philosophy" in corporate law. You'll be working at indecent hours on Friday night trying to finish a worthless document for Monday that no one will read until probably next Friday. Also, 99% of lawyers don't have an "impact on society"; the people that do are called politicians, who just happen to have acquired a JD. Many politicians, however, do not have JDs. Harper does not have a JD. Nor did Trudeau. The list goes on. I wanted to go law once, then I realized finance pays more at lower and higher levels with just as much downside.
