Envi. Studies vs Prelaw vs. Communications

College Majors
1

<p>I can't seem to pick my major and at the moment am so lost and confused. So these are my choices:</p>

<p>Envi. Studies: I LOVE animal, trees, nature and anything to do with our planet. I do really well in IB Envi. Studies but the pay sucks (hopefully I'm wrong)</p>

<p>Pre-law: Prob is, will I be a cash cow? I like reasoning and have a good memory, but I've heard that lawyers are extremely stressful and depressed. Plus is the unemployment rate high? I'm not sure</p>

<p>Communications: sounds really fun for me. I'm good at English if that helps</p>

<p>Honestly, any advice is welcome. I've got to send my course selection really soon...please help!</p>

<p>My sister in an Environmental Lawyer. She has:
BA - American Studies
MA - Geography
Law Degree</p>

<p>I’d pursue Environmental Studies if you have the interest in the science behind things. Pay for grads in the field is OK, but it varies depending on your position. In general, I’d say Consulting>Govt.>Activism.</p>

<p>Law School admission is primarily GPA and LSAT. Employment rate and workload for lawyers depends on many factors.</p>

<p>A Communications degree involves different coursework and someone with experience in the field would need to help you there. But a skillful command of the English language is helpful in any career.</p>
