If interested in a future career in law, should you major in something that is highly requested in the local area, or something niche?
I am applying to colleges at the moment, and am wondering what should dictate my decision of what to major and minor in. I want to do everything possible to have a successful future career as a lawyer, so I want my classes to be more geared toward giving me an edge- not a generic major that most law students have. I live in the heart of Austin, so it would also help if I could get any info about what specialty is sought after here. Thanks!

What to do if I have no APs/Honors/Extracurriculars (a shy homeschooled Junior in HS who wants to pursue either becoming a lawyer or something in the forensic science area)?
I feel very behind and stressed because though I do make good grades, I know that I should have at least a few of these things but I don’t. I know the best way is for me to just do something about it but I’m not sure on how to go about it. I also feel stressed because I’m not 100% for sure which career path I should pursue: law or forensic science. I will take any advice. Do you think that it would be a good idea if I take any APs/Honors next year or will it be too late? I was thinking of taking dual enrollment next year and some CLEP exams this year. And, what extracurriculars should I do as of now, and for my senior year—ones that match the careers i want to do or a variety of different things that interest me? (sorry if i got off topic!!!) Thank you in advance because any help/advice will be appreciated!
