What exactly does a tax lawyer do? -

My parents keep pushing me to become a tax attorney/lawyer. Reasoning is, my cousin, in her first year out of school received a job offer in which she could earn over 100k a year and work like only 5 hours a day. Is being a tax lawyer really that great of a job?

I m sure it s great. The IRS tax code is so large, it s almost incomprehensible. There will always, always be a need for tax advice and protection. However, I always thought that new lawyers worked 60-70 hours a week, at least if you are hoping to make partner in a decent firm. That part I d check on. But the job will always have high demand and will always be able to demand high hourly rates.
