why does everyone want to be a lawyer?

[Shark_in_Skirt]

why does everyone want to be a lawyer? Do people think becoming a lawyer is that easy and it just happens like that? Just because their choice of study didn't work out for them?

And from what information did you get all of this total rubbish from? Oh right... you were making blatent, totally uninformed assumptions.

I don't think that anybody on this board who is a pre-law major has EVER implied in any way whatsoever that they wanted to become a lawyer because its "easy." I have no clue where you could possibly have gotten that impression.

Regarding "because their choice of study didn't work out"... Pardon my rudeness, but are you incredibly ignorant or are you incredibly simple-minded? Which is it? On exactly what statistics do you base the fact that the law is actually a last ditch attempt at a career? You obviously know nothing about the time and dedication it takes to become an attorney.

So here are the facts: (1) Not everyone wants to be a lawyer. Perhaps you ought to realize that sweeping statements aren't considered appropiate for the average intelligent person to make. (2) Nobody here thinks that becoming a lawyer is "easy." Nobody here really implied that any career was easy... everything takes time and effort (except for making really silly remarks which you're an expert at). (3) For the majority of law students, it was not a second major after the first attempt at a different major failed. (4) Are you SURE you have a college education?
