Would you like to be lawyer?

Post Reply New Topic

I am studying library science and now regret that I did not choose Law, but I thought that after graduating from the library science, I'll start to study law, I could also choose to study simultaneously in two directions, but I do it for a small divided attention.
Now regret our stupid Prime Minister Donald Tusk decided that the second academic filed  will be payable unless someone got to be the first year in an additional study field among the top 5% of students, then entire studies were to be covered from the state budget, before you could study how many subjects you wanted even a lifetime, I used to read about certain 45 years old who was 15 degrees master's degree and several doctorates, although he probably now had no problems because I would probably easily got to be among the top 5%.

I regret not studying the law because lawyers in Poland earn a lot of money, moreover, as everywhere is the world, and the poles begin to litigate more frequently, but about that I wrote in this topic:.

I once watched an interview with some of our Polish lawyer, a specialist in divorce, division of property and division of children: D
He spoke anonymously, did not show his face and his voice was distorted by a computer. He spoke as ever dealt with a matter, a dominant husband, does not beat his wife, but he tried to control her, she filed for divorce but he would not give her a divorce, the lawyer fabricated evidence that he beats her and sexually assaulted their children, which was not true, the guy was very domineering but not beat his wife and was not a pedophile. This story sounded like some American film court, but it happened in my country Poland.

Like the story of a woman who lost her license for epilepsy, which she claims to have never been sick, now is suing a hospital for breaking medical confidentiality, which lost its license and job, now demands compensation from the hospital the amount of 70,000 Zł  and 1,500 zł pension until how to regain the license, but will have to share with lawyers 25% of the loot had been able to take them to the hospital

I have studied law my whole life, and wanted to study it at college. But, when I got to college, I realized that lawyers in the United States are considered to be beneath used-car salesmen. However, I suspect that lawyers are better liked in other nations where it is still a good career.

Good luck with all your studies.

i would not enjoy law school, as there's too much public speaking.

A very bad idea if you don't like sales.

You WILL NOT find a job unless you can do everything a lawyer is expected to do. It's not about reading and writing and researching. Don't expect someone to hire you if you can't hustle to get new clients and generate billable hours.

If you have the money to get the education for the sake of education, that's fine, but don't go into debt for it.

It also can be a mill stone about your neck for getting any NON-LAW job.

Do you know which forum you are in?

You should ask a Mod to move this thread to the Work thread or maybe Random.

Never in a million years. How could I possibly defend someone I actually know is guilty of a horrific crime? But then again how can I know if a person is innocent or guilty since I have trouble reading subtle facial expressions and gestures. And of course some people have trained themselves to look like they're telling the truth when if there was really a god they should be struck down by a bolt of lightening.

Also lawyers in Canada wear robes and sometimes even wigs, depending on what province they're in, which I find pretty weird since lawyers in the states don't dress that way. But then again we're not half as insane with suing people over the stupidest things, like trying to dry your dog in a microwave, nuking the poor animal, and then suing because there wasn't a warning saying NOT to put live animals in there! Actually, I think that's just an urban myth, but there are stupid things people really did sue for and won, like this lady who got wet in the rain, later caught the flu, and sued because the weather report said it was going to be sunny so she didn't wear any rain gear.

I've taken about 6 legal studies and research type courses. Love the research, preparation of texts and so on but would never ever want to be either a Lawyer or a Legal assistant of any kind. I could not work with those massive egos. I also would not want to be party to a wrongful conviction.

It's strange that this thread is in the Health, Fitness and Sports section.

But no, I have never wanted to be a lawyer. I've always thought it would be a difficult job for someone with AS, but I wish any aspies who want to do it luck.

Everywhere across Europe our stupid politicians are making education less available. Getting a second college/university degree in the Netherlands is unaffordable now.
"Those who think education is expensive do not know the cost of ignorance."

Sometimes companies or government agencies will pay for the education of their employees if they agree to work for them a while after that. I know someone who could not afford an education when he was young, then he worked for the tax office and they offered to pay for his education. Later he became a tax lawyer/accountant. Someone else became a dentist while he was in the military. In the mast, many people got their driving license while in the military (though I wouldn't want to be in the military during times such as these).

It's not only in Europe where education is not affordabe. The US is even worse. I thought $33.00 per credit hour plus room and board plus textbooks plus activity fees were expensive when I was an undergraduate student in the late 1970's. I thought $66.00 per credit hour plus books were expensive when I was a graduate student in the 80's. I don't know how my nieces are going to pay off their loans, especially since they majored in education, the one niece majoring in Physics education (and she's currently teaching in a private preschool in Austin, TX), and the other niece is teaching English and French at a local high schoo (how that girl got her certifications is beyond me.)
