How important are high-school "career" classes?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Long story short (because I don't feel like typing out a whole paragraph right now), my high school offers many vocational classes like health science (clinical rotations), culinary arts (running a restaurant for a school), and law (mock trials). I've been drilled ever since I was young that I was to become a doctor, so I naturally took the medical vocational classes. However, I didn't really enjoy them that much and have decided to pursue a different course in college about the topics I am truly passionate about: law (political science, argument, rhetoric).</p>

<p>However, I already have this rigorous health science class under my belt, while other prospecting law students from my high school have taken the Law I/Law II courses at my school as well as doing well in mock trial competitions. Would my experience in taking the medical vocational class be detrimental in applying to colleges/law schools, as I didn't take advantage of these law classes in high school?</p>

<p>Taking a law class in High school, wont hender your chances of college admission. Do whatever you are passionate in high school, and when college you can focus on career preperations. There are kids in my school who are in the drama club, but major in math in college.</p>

<p>^ I agree. Take what you’re interested in high school, then focus on your career in college. I’m the type of person who gets interested in everything: math, literature, and social sciences. When I get to college I’m going to major in Biology. My parents always tell me that do what makes you happy, even though they might not agree with it (my dad wants me to take over his future business) they have to accept it.</p>
