Do you think law is the right career for me?

<p>I'm a pre-law junior. I do not like reading very much and got a low grade in my first philosophy class. I don't like complicated readings, I want things to be simple, and straight to the point. I'm starting to worry if I'm heading towards the right career track, what do you guys think?</p>

<p>Umm, from the little bit that you've provided, I would say that maybe law school isn't right for you. Then again, I'm just going off of what you've provided in this post. Law school requires a lot of reading and outlining. Not to mention that I don't think law school, especially the first year, is simple at all. And someone correct me if I'm wrong but aren't law school generally big on teaching using the Socratic method? There's nothing simple about that.</p>

<p>What do you think? Why are considering law as a possible career? Do you see yourself being in law school?</p>

<p>I would suggest you go to your neighborhool law school bookstore or law school library and ask to see some of the first year course books. They are thick books, but don't let that scare you. Open a book or two and read some of the cases. See what you think in terms of reading difficulty.</p>

<p>If you don't like to read, or disassemble complicated arguments, then I would say you need to adjust your career goals. Law is supposed to be direct and clear, but it rarely is. Go take a practice LSAT. If you think it is completely hell on Earth, pick something else. If you think at least part of it is fun, law might be for you. With only that small anecdote though, I cannot tell you either way for sure.</p>

<p>Also, regardless of if you decide law really is the place you want to end up, transfer out of the pre-law program NOW. It is a scam, a fake degree that law schools HATE with a passion and is completely useless in the real world. Get something, anything else. Just get out of pre-law.</p>
