<p>Okay, I want to be a lawyer because I desire to be so. But, from a financial standpoint, I want to be financially well off. You see, I believe that I can live very comfortably by making 100K-130K a year. Which field of law would I be able to attain this? I was thinking about becoming a real estate attorney. What are some other fields of law in which I can attain this financial goal.</p>
<p>By the way, I would really like to practice law in a somewhat small town, not sure if that effects the "big picture"</p>
<p>Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmp</p>
<p>You will find out once you are in law school. You can only know this by networking and talking with a lot of different type of lawyers. Most lawyers will only be familiar with the field in which they are a member.</p>
<p>sorry.. haha but what does "bump" mean?
i always see it in some threads... people replying by just saying bump.. but i never knew what it meant~</p>
<p>bump = Bring Up My Post</p>
<p>Well, can you give me a ballpark answer, people. What field of law would I be able to pursue this financial goal.</p>
<p>No major is better than another for law. Your success as a lawyer will depend on which law school you go to and how you rank in your class. THis in turn, depends on where you went for u/grad and how did and your LSAT score. </p>
<p>BUT: All things being equal business law (tax, securities, corp/commercial) pay the most and of course having an accounting degree with a CPA designation is an advantage. THis however, will not remedy any deficit with where you went to law school and/or your class ranking. It is an edge - but only a minor one.</p>
<p>The answer is likely to depend on which "somewhat small town" you end up living in.</p>
<p>Business/corporate law where you deal with those large million/billion dollar companies === big bucks if you work at a large, prestigious firm that deals with these matters.</p>
