<p>Please excuse typographical errors, i'm on phone. </p>
<p>I'm working hard to get where I want to be in life. I am aiming to become a lawyer, although going into college I have no idea what to take. I thought that psychology and social engineering would be good for a lawyer although i'm not sure. </p>
<p>hope you guys don't mind handing me some suggestions.. Please keep in mind i'm going to a community college at first.</p>

<p>If you have a 4-year school to transfer to in mind, it might be a good idea to look at their requirements to get a sense of what courses they would like you to have.</p>
<p>Otherwise, I’d suggest concentrating on the basics: a math class, science with a lab, history, english literature and composition. Since you’re interested in psychology, that would be a good field to explore.</p>
<p>For transferring, you should stay away from specialized courses that are unlikely to be found at other schools. Depending on where you live, there might be agreements about transfer credits already in place between your CC and the university system.</p>
<p>Normally, from my understanding, those wanting to go into law will do a pre-law set of courses (i could be wrong). I’ve seen those majoring in history go into law easily.</p>
<p>Take classes in logic; it’ll help with the LSAT. There are no real prelate courses. Much of law school is essay finals that count for your whole grade, with lots of reading. Courses with papers and reading will help. Things like math, Econ, engineering can also help.</p>

<p>There is no pre-law set of courses like there is a pre-med set of courses. No specific major is required. The most popular majors among LSAT takers are political science and English, but the major groups whose students score the highest on the LSAT are math/physics, economics, and philosophy/theology. However, this may at least partially be due to self-selection effects.</p>
