Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3130413, member: 1414"] Totally agree. As long as we don't define "lawyer" narrowly. I certainly did not know if I wanted to be a "lawyer" in the traditional law firm sense. And it turns out, I didn't. That was fine. There are tons of in-house jobs. It is a bit of a gamble, unless you are an engineer or chemist and want to become a patent lawyer. That's solid gold. OP said he was "pre-law", which I assume is a major that shouldn't exist. It probably won't matter in law school and doesn't help you much if you don't go. Oddly enough, I found my Finance major was ideal. There is quite a bit of accounting understanding necessary in law school. Contracts, UCC2, UCC9, Tax even environmental law require some math/finance knowledge. Poli Sci is useless. English Lit would be decent, especially with Accounting 101 as an elective. [/QUOTE]
