I finally found out what I want to do in my life, am I late? |
So, I'm 24 junior year of college doing B.S. in communications. I never really knew what I wanted to do so I've always stuck with banking because the pay is decent and benefits are better. I always write letters for my friends who may have trouble with with something and need a letter to explain a problem or seeking payment from someone.....you know like a lawyer would write. I was recently thinking how I would really ENJOY being an attorney, but specifically an attorney that deals with "lemon law". You know, like purchasing a new car and everything going wrong with it, so you need a lemon law attorney. What steps do I need to take to becoming an attorney that deals with lemon law? I'm 24, do you think it's too late to study law? How long will it take me? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely not. I had people in my law class that were over 40. I don't like being an attorney, I'll sell you my law degree. It's never too late! I am 29 and getting ready to apply to law school. I will be 30 before I even get started. There are a lot of steps to take to get yourself ready to go to law school. I would recommend the book Law School for Dummies. It will explain the process to you and the steps that you need to take. As far as specializing in lemon law, that's something you do after you get your law degree and pass the bar. There may be a few electives in law school that deal with that, but most people take the same basic classes. Good luck! Suppose it will take four years to study law (I'm just estimating, as I don't know for sure); at the end of that time, you'll be 28 years old. Now - how old will you be at the end of four years if you DON'T study law? It's only too late if you don't start NOW :-) http://www.amazon.com/its-only-late-dont... Have you ever talked with an attorney that practices the law you are refering to? Ask that person what they think about the state of the industry and how you can join the ranks. Law school takes three years. It is not took late if you consider that you may live into your 80's and beyond. It's never to late for anything you want to do. At 24, you have your whole life in front of you. Shoot, I didn't start college until I was in my 40's. It was time for a change. . .again. . . And get all the education you can get. You learn so much more than simple knowledge at college. Go for it. . . I went to college with 50 year olds, that's silly to think you're too "late". You're not dead yet, so it's never too late... I think it's 4 years to get your bachelors, and 3 years of grad school. |
