(another) Is law school right for me?

Graduate School Law School

<p>I am in high school and I have thought about going to medical school since I was 11 years old. It isn't until now that I am realizing that I am more competitive and argumentive that I am kind and compassionate towards people.(I am kind, don't get me wrong) Is that a bad thing? For some reason, it sounds like it's a horrible thing to say about myself. Anyway, I am the top student in all my classes, but I especially love english and history more than science and math. I have been told multiple times that I am a clear and persuasive public speaker and I would make a great lawyer. Speech/Debate,theatre, and student gov't has always been more exciting to me than science. I am in LOVE with politics, but I still cannot fully shake off my love for being a doctor. Is it because I've wanted it for so long and can't let it go? </p>

<p>Let me know:] thank you!</p>

<p>You don’t say if you’re in your first year of HS or your last. A lot can change in a teenagers viewpoint in those years.</p>

<p>Your entire post says that you’re wanting us to tell you to drop medicine and pursue law. OK I’ll say it: drop medicine and pursue law. (Only because I think you already answered your own question.)</p>

<p>Well you should certainly drop medicine. Fortunately there’s no need to pick a career yet. Just go to college; take whatever courses interest you. When you get to junior year, you can decide whether or not to apply to law school.</p>
