Lawyer

Home | Description | Schools, Universities, Colleges | Employers

     As far as I can remember, my dream was to become a doctor or an actress just because they seem like such important people. But, when I got into high school, I became really involved in politics, law and also loved reading about what was going on everywhere. I guess that is how I came about the decision of declaring my major Political Science once I graduated. There are so many careers to come out of this major and one was of most interest to me.

     Lawyers are extremely powerful people in the courtroom, and that power is what I would like to have. I want to prove the innocence of someone who deserves it, and keep them away from the trouble that doesn’t belong to them. I know my career will start small, and at that time I can concentrate on making a family. Once my salary increases, I’ll have enough money for children and have absolutely no financial problems. Lawyers are some of the highest paid employees these days. Jobs are frequent in many states, but traveling would not be a problem since I’m very interested in the thought. Anywhere from here in Florida, to across the country in California, or even another continent is no problem.

     At times, I will get a client that is clearly guilty and trying to prove him/her innocent will be difficult since I believe in punishment for all wrong doing. This is one obstacle that I need to get past in order to keep my career in good standing. I want to help people, and perhaps the guilty man wasn’t so guilty in his crime. My job to research and find out everything I can to know the truth, and then to prove it to the jury.

     Long hours of investigating and interviews, speaking in front of the jury and courtroom with all attention on me, having a strict deadline and court date, working with someone completely against me, and on top of it all, keeping my family intact are all stressors of my chosen career field. With all of that said, I’m still interested.

     I probably would not have a set schedule; I think it all depends on how many people I have wanting my help. Taking advantage of this gives me the time I need for my family, and for myself. Once I’ve exceeded my wanting of being a lawyer, I’d definitely like to become involved with the state or government. I expect to have many friendships coming out of my career with people of high importance to help me with that.
