      Tbh, you might want to look into statistics about the way the law field has changed. I saw some reddit post recently where lawyers/former law students talked about the fees of law school, the wage curve, saturation in the market, and other factors of the field that might make law a less attractive field than it used to be...unless its truely your passion and dream. I dont want to discourage you (and it's not like I'm educated on the topic), but there are a lot of things ppl don't bother to tell you before you enter a field of study & accure a bunch of debt. I found out some things about my own field the hard way after I graduated.
      Tldr; talk to as many lawyers as you can and ask for statistics. Be fearless and ask for the unfiltered truths about the field, good and bad. It's better that you make a fully educated decision, entering with eyes wide open and determination than graduate with heaps of debt and a sinking realization that this isnt what you thought it would be.
      Good luck! 😁

    i wonder how much of this is the cultural differences between america and the uk! just as a heads up, i think it's still a pretty common presumption in the states at least that lawyer is like doctor which is Theoretically Easy Money. also, the character who was 'pre-law' hasn't left undergrad yet! pre-law is an undergraduate degree that's meant to prep you for law school. so when he said change majors it's more possible for that person because it's just undergrad and ur major choice isn't locked in the minute you enter uni like it is in the uk. this was really fun to watch, i really enjoyed listening to your opinions on this!

    The bar exam scene is actually quite realistic (in terms of casting, haha) to what it would look like in the US. Since law school is a graduate school that requires no specific prerequisites beyond a bachelors degree, many people do it as a mid-career switch. Even if you graduated college at 22 and went to law school immediately, you’d then be 25/26 by the time you took the bar. Personally, my plan is to take 2 gaps years so I’ll be 27/28 by the time I sit the bar :)

    After being a paralegal for 14 years, I can honestly say that almost every lawyer I have talked to has recommended against being a lawyer. It can be a soul destroying job. It's the only thing I know how to do now though, so even though my sister (a lawyer) suggested I don't become a lawyer - I am actually taking the bar exam in July. But my advice to people is to not go to study law until they have worked in the real world and know how crushing the law can be. Everyone gets mad at lawyers. The judges yell at lawyers, the clients yell at lawyers, lawyers yell at lawyers. At any given moment, someone is probably upset with you.

    A lot of people in the US take the bar later in life. To be an attorney in California, you generally have a bachelors degree and then attend law school after that since it’s a graduate degree. Also, school in the US is prohibitively expensive so it takes some people a long time to finish schooling. The bar exam in California is notoriously difficult, and practicing attorneys need to take tests throughout their career in order to continue being bar certified. I have a lot of attorneys in my family, and I was considering law at one point. I just feel your comment on the age of the people taking the exam in the show was insensitive, since that is the reality in the US.
    I’d love to hear if you’re still in love with the profession 30 years in. Also, people really do hate attorneys. 🤷‍♀️

Now I gave up law and office work altogether and now life's all pepsy and colorful again. Don't be a lawyer for the wrong reasons, Do be a lawyer if it's right for you.

    The “nuclear option” is just a procedural rule in the senate. It doesn’t affect needing a majority of votes for confirmation, but it has to do with the ability of the minority party to prevent a tally of votes from even happening. The nuclear option makes it harder for the minority party to stop the vote, so actually without the nuclear option it would be harder to get onto the supreme court due to the partisan pressures to deny the other party from doing anything they want.

    Hi Eve!
    Loved the video! I was just wondering as a 16 year old who lacks a bit of confidence and really doesn't like public speaking, would law be still a suitable career option for me even if I am interested in most of the contents of the course? I would obviously be willing to improve my public speaking skills. :)

    • @thed542
      @thed542 5 років тому +4

      Hi Bop! I'm not Eve (obvs) but I still think that it's still a viable career choice. At least as far as I'm aware, in the UK you have a barrister and a solicitor. A barrister comes to trial, while solicitor doesn't. You could start looking into these distinctions. Let me know what you think!

    • @anaisindia
      @anaisindia 5 років тому +10

      Hey! I used to haaaaate public speaking. I did non-law undergrad (languages) and pushed myself to do loads of things like becoming a student ambassador etc (giving talks to large groups of people about the uni/course), and just finished the GDL (law conversion) where I did loads of pro bono volunteering giving talks (to schools, prisons etc which was def nerve-wracking but helped so much). You're only 16 so you have loads of time to improve on your public speaking. I'm now 24 and about to start LPC (what Eve just finished), and my public speaking skills are 10000x better than they were when I was 16. Just push yourself to do things that will help you improve! Obviously being a barrister will require more public speaking skills than solicitors (although you do need to give presentations to clients etc sometimes), so this is also something to take into account! :) Best of luck! Anything is possible!!! xxxxx

I'm currently studying towards a law degree and I went into uni absolutely hate public speaking (honestly still don't love it), but it's really a skill that you learn over time, and you will gain confidence in. Being a lawyer also dosen't always mean that you have to represent clients in court - you could be a barrister or solicitor (assuming that you're in the English legal system). Law isn't for everyone, but even if you're unsure if you want to be a lawyer, a law degree opens lots of different doors for you
