I don’t plan on pursuing a career in photography, but I do plan on being a lawyer.
I would like to be a criminal lawyer (a lawyer who represents someone charged with criminal charges) or a constitutional lawyer (someone who represents a group or individuals who have had their constitutional rights violated).
- To become a criminal lawyer, you need your bachelor’s degree, attend law school and earn your J.D.
- To become a constitutional lawyer, you also need your bachelor’s degree, earn your J.D., pass the state bar exam, and get a law license.
- Salary for criminal lawyer: $79,155 per year (average)
- Salary for constitutional lawyer: $119,260 per year (average)
- I’ve always been interested in law and in my personal experience (from seeing my family) I don’t think the justice system is fair and I often see innocent people get sentenced, so I’ve always wanted to be the one to change that. I’ve always been fascinated by lawyers and what they do.
- In order to be a lawyer, you need to have good critical thinking skills, analytical reasoning, good writing skills, and good communication. And you need to make sure your work isn’t biased which could be hard depending on the case you work on.
