How do I find the field of law I want to practice ?
Hey, whoever can please guide me? I am a psychology major on a prelaw track. I want to pursue law and go to law school, but I have been seeing people who say law school is not worth it and being a lawyer is not worth it, money-wise and emotionally ( miserable). I have been told that people often recommend pursuing a career in nursing and becoming a Psychiatric nurse, or studying more neuroscience. I am in distress and no longer know what I want to do. I feel very overwhelmed because I love the law, and I have been interested in law programs since 8th grade, when I declared my intention to be a lawyer. However, now I feel questioned and tested. I want a job that I am passionate about and one that I will be mentally okay with. ALSO MONEY WISE with debts. What type of law field should I lean towards if I follow my dreams?

What College Would Be Best For Me?
I was wondering what college might be best for me. I am a very hard worker and believe that I would be capable of getting into a tough to get into school. I am very interested in going to a school in Chicago and I would really love to go to the University of Chicago. The only problem is that I don't know if the classes that are in the area of Law enforcement and Phycology are the best that I can receive. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations or ideas on what college might cover areas that have to deal with law and criminal justice the best. My ideal school as I said before would be somewhere in Chicago with a good cross country or track team, and have a low-ish acceptance rate.
