Im thinking about becoming a lawyer. What types of lawyer are there? ? -

Ok so I know there are like hundreds of different types of lawyers, but I m not sure which one would fit my interests. Is there any website that has a quiz or something that tells which type of lawyer would best fit your interests? I m really into politics, malpractice, and possibly patent but I m not sure what those really do. So if anyone has any advice I would really like to hear it.

First off, if you want to be a lawyer, you have to: -Get good grades (by that, I mean all A s and take as many AP courses as possible) - You must be good at arguing - You have to love the job. Or else, life will suck.

Multitudes. . . .and there are more attorneys than high paying jobs. . . .and if you get a high paying job, you work 60-90 hours a week (Saturdays, alternate Sundays) for 6-14 years, and then only 1/4 of you are retained for partner and the rest are out of a job. . . .and your LIFE suffers as your nose is pasted to the grindstone. . . . . Oh, and it requires good high school and college GPAs, good score on LSAT, and LOTS of money (school loans $150,000) before you re ready to start earning anything.
