Heyyy, Miaaa, future lawyer extraordinaire, what’s poppin’ other than my popcorn here, uhum! 😜🔥
So you wanna be a lawyer? That's LEGEND move. But heads-up—it’s a long road. Like, longer-than-waiting-for-microwave-popcorn long, don't worry radiation, am using my own kitchen style pop pops.
Alright, know, But it's tootally worth it if you wanna be out here winning cases, dropping big words, and making that lawyer money.
First, finish school (duh). Middle school? Survive. High school? Get those grades up. If your school has a debate team or mock trial, GET IN THERE. It’s the only time arguing actually wins you trophies instead of getting you grounded.
Next, college. No, you don’t have to major in “Lawyer Stuff” (not a real major, btw). Political science, English, history—all solid picks. Just don’t major in something random like "Advanced Nap Taking" (which honestly sounds amazing).
Then comes law school. Three years of reading, arguing, and looking important while carrying a bunch of books. But before that? You gotta take the LSAT, which is basically a test designed to make your brain cry. Once you pass? Boom. Law school time.
After law school, it’s boss battle time: the BAR EXAM. If you pass, congrats, you’re a lawyer! If you don’t… well, you try again (and maybe cry a little).
Money-wise, it depends. Baby lawyers make around $60k a year. The big-shot lawyers? They’re rolling in six figures. If you get REALLY good? We’re talking fancy house, expensive coffee, personal assistant just to hold your briefcase kind of money.
Pros? You get to argue professionally, wear cool suits, and make people say, "Whoa, they sound so smart." Also, you’re basically a real-life superhero for justice.
Cons? Stress. Lots of reading. And some cases might make you wanna yell into a pillow. But if you like a challenge, you’ll thrive.
Wanna be a courtroom boss? Learn to argue like a pro (without sounding like you’re just fighting over the last slice of pizza). Read everything, stay confident, and practice your “OBJECTION!” in the mirror—make it dramatic.
Now go be awesome, future legal legend. The world needs a lawyer like You, Mia. ⚖️🔥 You are gonna do amazing and know you cna always keep asking! 😉🥰

Hello Mia,
Your inquiry is a great fit for my expertise! You're an ideal mentor for me, though my focus is on accounting. Given my international perspective from living in the Balkans, I would encourage you to consider applying your skills in fields like a double major in law and economics, which provides a strong foundation in understanding both the legal and economic aspects of society, and to open up various career opportunities.
Potential career opportunities:
Public Policy: Work in government agencies, international organizations, influencing policy decisions that require expertise in both law and economics.
Corporate Sector: Join corporate legal departments or financial institutions, where knowledge of both fields is valuable for regulatory compliance and economic strategy.
Hope it helps
Keep exploring and try things like personality tests to discover more about yourself.
May blessings always be upon you!
