- Getting admitted to study in the university is tough. Deciding on what degree to study is perhaps tougher. Your mum wants you to be a doctor. Your dad thinks engineering is more suiting, given your math skills. Then there’s your uncle who thinks architecture is your calling because he once saw you sketch a nice house. But an inner voice has been telling you studying law won’t be a bad idea.

I've been a lawyer for nearly 40 years. I came from a very poor back ground and it was very hard for me as I had no support from anyone and had a very poor education. However. I had lots of determination and a willingness to learn. If I can do it. You can too.

Exactlyyy

HAHAH
Nice one I will sue him ️🙂
Dont be discouraged
aHAHAHSHAHA
HAHAHSHAHJF
I remember my struggle to get to study law, and now I'm studying law, almost a graduate... it's almost unbelievable.
Congrats wow, inspired
How many years
Don't go out robbing people now. You lawyer types(not YOU specifically) are crooked pos's
Wow!! Congrats!!
Oh wow inspiring 😁😊just wanna have that testimony too😏one day
Now we're in 2020 after 5 yrs I'll be in the Law school I'll see this comment
I'm strong I can be a lawyer 💪🏻❤️
you go girl!!
Slayyyyyyyy!!!!! I’m sure you’ll do amazing!!!
Good luck!
You do you. Am 13 and when I was younger I said I wanted to be a lawyer and everyone says I should I was also thinking about medical school but a lot of there related to me. If your determined you can do it.!
Savannah Sealy good luck
I am 13 years old I wanted to be a lawyer since I was 7 1/2 years old and I used to be all dumb and everything but now I’m bascically smart because god is helping with so much I pray everytime for my success
It’s great that you’re more educated and well informed about this profession but smart people don’t call themselves smart.
God bless you :)
Same. I have wanted to be a lawyer ever since I was 8 and I am now 11, I have also always been good in reading and math so I think I am good to go too
Oh and I wish u good luck!
Not that u will need it!
God bless your big heart . You got this , at 13 I wanted to be Beyoncé . I’m proud of you all the way from New Jersey USA
Dnt wry bro/sissie you got this. In the school we'll think we are dump, its quite natural😂. But building a career is different, we'll be good at it. Because we can excel in everything,if we like that and have passion for it,we'll automatically work hard and everything will become very interesting.
I'm an aspiring lawyer. There's something inside me that tells me I would surely be a lawyer someday. I am just so sure for whatever reason, might be my burning desire to be one someday. I just think its my end game, in terms of career.
yehee same see u in court then:)
Go do it, same here. I believe in you
yeah.. i feel it.
I have the same feeling but Im seeing the cost to become a lawyer and the energy and time it takes. People have quit and im losing my hope and motivation.
I'm 17 , I really want to be a lawyer but I'm afraid i can't express my confidence it's just bottled up inside it's hard to let it out . Well, I possess almost of the qualities. Thanks to this video I will try to speak up
I’m also going through the same thing. But let’s not make that an excuse we can learn as long as u are passionate. Believe in urself ❤️
baby steps, confidence is a skill you can build !! you don't have to be born with it :)) it comes as you develop so you'll be just fine !
I was the same way in regards to my confidence, what I did was just say smth even if it’s a little awkward most people will forget about it the next day and brush it off, I did this same cycle rinse and repeat till I could suddenly hold my own in a convo
I only know how to keep secrets. After 10 years I'll be back here, let me see if I really fight my dream of becoming an attorney despite having only one sign.
Thats the first sign...determination!!
Nah, there's high a probability you'll forgdt this. But, oh well, good luck
Good luck, i really hope you become succesful🧡
Haha, same here 🙂
What about books read them or I have better ones an more videos an not a little xyanz
I really need to work up on my confidence... And when time comes by, I want to see myself inside the court defending my client with a lot of passion and confidence.💓
Be a solicitor instead then
i want to see that in you too, all the best dear ❤
Be prepared, not all cases will go to trial. It’s a small percentage in the modern day. Look up the stats. I think it’s less than 15-20%. The rest is handled through litigation between two opposing parties. Unless you’re criminal defense or prosecution, you won’t be hitting the court too often.
I am a law graduate and a senior high school teacher, 60 years old . I graduated in 2000.I never take a bar exam, my sister took once, she failed for 1 point,in labor laws, I am afraid to take the bar because some people are expecting me to pass, and their expectations scares me.
When I heard reading i was like 😐 look like I’m not gonna be a lawyer
same!
Imaginine writing this comment
This comment was made by the nerd gang.
I actually find reading books really cool and helpful
Me too, but nothing will stop me
@@funiguy2219 imaginine lol
“Big books don’t scare you”
Does fanfiction count
Yesn't
Bruh same
Yup 😂😂😂
BRO 🤣
I like reading history books
The beginning is so accurate😂
😂😂😂
i’m not even close to these like signs yet i’m still going to law school... ugh, the struggles of having asian parents 😩
What school are you at? Good luck!
hahaha u are funy and smart
Don’t do it!!! Choose something else! This matches me perfectly. But I couldn’t imagine doing something that didn’t suit me simply for others. You can become anything you want… something that will make you money and bring happiness.
What you talking about we no I'm lil sunshine on the grand 65
Believe in your self u can do it just look your self in mirror and argue with your self that I can do it
My parents are lawyers
I relate to all 10 of these signs
And I am very interested in becoming a lawyer
It definitely helps if your parents are already in the profession.
Sana all
@@elishareyquiamco1763 luh HAHAHHA hi po
I have a question, I want to be a lawer but have a family. Do your parents still have time to spend with you? Jusy a question because I want to spend time with my family and be there for them
Well, law is the best career for you in this case cuz your parents are lawyers too and they can Hella support you
I spend hours at the law library, and I argue to prove my point, I enjoy debates, and I stand for what I believe in.
You are a potential lawyer then
Hey then thats US!
9/10. But my creative side is very big. That's why I'm confused between law and design
My mom: become a doctor
Dad: no become a lawyer
Sister: dont listen to them, become an engineer
Me who wants to become a baby kitten care taker: *screaming*
I can hear you screaming😂😂😂😂
Lol relatable:v
Lol. I’m afraid it never gets better.
Be a pronstar
@@user-mu7xh4sm3v best!😂
More than anything, you must be passionate for studying the subject. That’s what will help you to read a lot of books. Also, law has so many fields like corporate law, intellectual property laws, competition law, judiciary, etc. it’s not only about fighting in courts anymore.
Hi, if you are still there I'd like to ask some questions. I am really at a critical place in my life where I need some answers before I make my decision
Im Lazy with big books but when i already made my word of reading i can finish it
I have a lot of Signs of become lawyer, its just the time mangement.
Same
Same.
Same.
Bro fr 😔
Me too for real lol
This has given me a lot of confidence. I'm applying to study law in college and am excited to do so, but this video has given me the push to get started
Yay!!! I just need confidence now...
8/10 starting law career soon, wish me luck, will come back to comment few years later about the Journey...
I’m 16 and going to law school when I’m 18 I got 9/10 :)
Rose Bing law school is only 3 years
Rose Bing Don’t you go to law school first then get your bachelors degree, I’m pretty sure it will be a total of 5 years
Samee
@@rosequeen3283 no you go to get your bachelors degree then you get your JD (law degree). It's a total of 7 years. 4 in university, 3 in law school.
@@rosebing4707 it can be different depending on the country
Wow! Im a medical student but law is always tugging at my heart strings as well...might as well go for it then😇
You could do forensic law
Very poweful video
Please make more videos like this, eg. businessmen, financial analysts, quantity surveyor, computer IT, etc
Thank you for update this video.
I want to be a successful lawyer.
I have all the signs since my childhood to become a lawyer.
So I am very confident about my decision
This low key helped a lot
I got 10/10!!!! YES my dream is becoming a lawyer!! For some reason I’m so excited!!
xXxPeachy_spritexX x I’m happy for you!
Mine too but lawyers keep on telling me not to be and they keep on complaining about debt so I'm scared that I might regret being a lawyer. i just don't see myself doing anything aside from that but idk
@@brazgazz are you serious right now
@@brazgazz women arent weak, you shouldnt tell anyone to give up on their dreams. Also not all women want to become like that.
History and Rockefeller / The audacity that you have to say that. Women are more then capable to accomplish anything that they choose to put their mind too. The stigma that you uphold that women are weak is pure ignorance. Our purpose as women is not to stay home and cater to the needs of a man.
I am reading the comments and people are talking about this as if it's the bar exam. Really?! You "HAVE TO HAVE" at least 5 of these things?....??? Really? Have to have at least five? That's what he said! You need at least five!
If this video is your way of knowing whether you should study law or not.....dont! Save it for the bar.
Secret.....if you don't have a certain skill set you want.......learn it! Yes learn it! Who would have thought. You can learn all 10! If you want. Funny how that works.
Well, in my case I know that I will have an easy time finding a job if I do énroll in a law school and get all needed dégrees, not only that when I grow up I really want to be able to provide for a family. I can always learn new things it's fun to me.
i love u for this
Most who know these , they dont say I study law , or take up law but the most correct way is I read law , you read law and understand the issue , what is the law , applies the law to the issue and get the conclusion or the remedy ! In jurisprudence , that is study law , you study the science of law and the jurist answer to the applications to the law !
This is a good summary, I gave you a thumbs up.
Interesting video...thank you...
Glad you enjoyed it
You are SO INSPIRATIONAL! YOU GOT THIS!
I am 29, I have a bachelors degree, and am currently attending my local community college to earn my paralegal technical certificate. I plan to do that for a year or two, and then decide if I want to make the leap and go to law school. I feel like being a paralegal first will help me develop a lot of the clerical and administrative skills and legal knowledge necessary to do well in law school if that’s what I decide to eventually do. Wish me luck!
Good luck! 😊
I’m on the same path right now.. I’m just struggling on figuring out my classes to take for my bachelors
Good luck
Very helpful video!
Thank you Sir 🙏⚖️📚🖋️
All the best
Becoming the lawyer isn’t the endgame,there are many professions you can go to after law,for example,becoming a politician.Knowing the law and how to get around it is definitely helpful later on if you wish to become a politician.Lets take an example of a country,Singapore.Lee Kuan Yew had a very good background in law and basically sued people to bankruptcy when they try to oppose him,law can be a very good tool in politics.
So basically I become a judge, resign after ten years, move to capital city, join the military as an officer then leave as soon as possible and become a veteran to gardner respect, get into politics with your early career in politics as a mayor, then set up tons of businesses to earn money, the run for President and win the election, then dismantle Congress, and win elections by defaming and demonising my opponent as well as election fraud and I'm a dictator.
Got them all but the confidence and time management skills haha
Thanks.. very nice 👍
Welcome 😊
Thanks for this!!
Our pleasure!
“why waste all that energy on vain things, you could be making real money”
don’t have this mindset if you want to defend the innocent and vulnerable. rather, why waste all that energy on vain things, when you can rightfully defend and protect the lives of others.
Hmmm
Agreed!
Because jobs exist to make money maybe?
I honestly couldn’t care less about the lives of other people. I just want to be a lawyer because it pays well, respectable, and I have somewhat of a passion for law. Of course, I will be defending my clients as if they are my own cases. But I couldn’t care less for the livelihood of human beings.
@@jclive2860 couldnt agree more
My goal is lawyer.. And become a lawyer it's my confidence.. I love argue to prove it when it is right or wrong and lawyer it's my dream I am still studying 10th completed and lawyer is my goal from 1st class too. ..trust your self and be Confidence then u will get success...
All the very best girl! I'm in 10th too aspiring to become a lawyer, in 2 years we will see ourselves in a good law college!!
Wow that's amazing
This is really helpfull thank you
9/10 I need to work on my confidence
same
Lawyer is one of my dream profession but I don't have the confidence and everytime I explain my side or point I always ended up crying tf
Useful!
Glad you think so!
I like the video. I learned very much and first time watching and listening to you. I believe about the introduction to lawyer that is going to very broad and my understanding is really broad so much.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much.
I am a Lawyer and I have the same signs.
Congratulations
1 Big books don't scare you
2 You stand for what you believe in
3 You exude confidence
4 You have integrity
5 You keep secrets
6You pay attention to detail
Hi cous😃😃
I stand for want I believe in,I have that confidence,I also have intergrity..I pay attention to details
i’m commenting this now and coming back to it when i’m in law school/a lawyer 😌💞
Since I was a kid I really love arguing and standing my point, I always enjoy watching debates and finding myself one of them. I also love investigating! I love big books. The big the book, the more its knowledge.
I love everything you have told but i am scared by bod books
My mom told me to go to nursing school(or any human sciences careers really) and my dad wants me to go to business school. I truly believe that they're projecting their dreams on me but I don't see myself myself in either one. I am a freshman in college trying to figure out what to do and for some reason I see myself in law school in the future. For now I'll focus on my undergraduate degree and try to save money and try to find out if law school for me.
Same girl! Do what your heart’s desire🫶
Wow 😲 I have loved it
Almost all of these points make up my sum, I match some of these and this year I'm going to start my law degree at a law school where I have no knowledge of yet because I'm currently waiting for the results.. I'm gonna be, because I was born one 💪
I am a lawyer:
1. Big books don't scare me. I am just sometimes too lazy to finish reading those books.
2. I try to get all angles of a story, but only important ones related to the issue at hand.
3. I do not love arguing to prove a point. As much as possible, I only argue when it is necessary to defend my case.
4. I do not stand for what I believe in. I am always open to new things. I change my belief system when it is no longer true.
5. I exude confidence, but the opposite may be an advantage sometimes in court.
6. Yes. Integrity is an indispensable asset of a lawyer in legal practice.
7. Keen to little things is indeed an important skill.
8. I hate debates.
9. I only have good priority management skills. I cannot control time.
10. Knowing how to keep secrets does not make one as a lawyer. It is part of the codes of conduct among lawyers.
Soon I'll be a lawyer and I'll come to this comment of mine!!💜
Same
Please remind me when you become a lawyer🥺 I would also like to be a lawyer and it would be amazing to hear that you made it.
Hanz Villanueva , once you become a lawyer plz help to me to become a Lawyer in the future , I’m 15 my dream is to become a Lawyer too
@@mc4952 same
I want to be an lawyer
Very good video
Heated!!
Omg yay! I fit in with 7/10 of these, I can't wait! Being a lawyer is highkey my dream job-
As a kid I always told my parents I wanted to be a judge or lawyer. I was an avid reader, had more books than toys. full of curiosity, I loved the word ‘why’ and enjoyed arguing back lol. Debates don’t exhaust me too, they get me going. People love divulging secrets to me too, and I don’t ask. I hit all of these except time management, I’m always late.
After watching this video, I realized I have this qualities, no wonder I help many problems and case and ended up on the winning side...
Even though i didn't see any sign of becoming lawyer in myself i will be sure to improve myself on the main point a lawyer should be like,thank you for the information
There are loopholes but I'm trying to fill it up slowly. I know this is the path that I should take.
Godangit I trying to avoid being a lawyer but I just so happen to qualify on the list
Thank you so much sir
Thank you
You're welcome
I'm my own lawyer.
I always defend myself very well.
I love myself so much that I refuse to share myself with someone else. 😌
10/10 i wanna be a lawer anyway
i am 18 and i have already chosen law as my carrer.......its 9 on 10 for me.......except for enjoying debates....i love debates that makes me curious for knowing more on that topic of debate!!!....thanku after school tv
8/10! Wish everyone good luck ! See ya in court
9/10. Honestly, I just really need to work of getting my confidence boosted up. But it's true actually, what inspires me the most is solving cases just like Sherlock Holmes. I've got a little influence from him, as well as from the other fictional detectives. They taught me , how to be observant, and everything that will solve major or minor cases. 💖
1. I LOVE READING
2. I always listen to both sides of the story
3. I LOVE ARGUING
4. I always stand up to what i believe
5. i have pretty good confidence i
6. yes i am honest
7. i mean most of the time i pay attention
8. i love debating
9. yes i do
10. ofc i keep secrets
so i have all and i really want to be a lawyer
9/10 for me. It's the reading for me. This is key so I will have to work on that.
Its a great job very nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
I want to become one but what bothers me is, I am not able to remember things. It was like I have a short term memory loss. So for the people who are able to fight for their dream on becoming a lawyer, please do your best. Some people want to be on your shoes, so let's dream on behalf of them.
Dawh. Don’t give up on your dreams! I have a terrible memory too but the trick to law school is remembering the overarching themes.
I’ve always wanted to speak about what I believe in and after watching this video I’ve gotten 9/10 of these signs
I’m so happy!
My take on this, I should study Law as I have more than five skills that you've mentioned as well and I, indeed want to study law for some clerical purpose.
I just got into first year law and just found this video. I got around 7-8 points..not sure if I'm a fast reader but I do catch points through writings. Anyways, good luck to you future lawyers reading this. :)
i easily get hurt and sensitive sometimes I respond irrational on arguments and criticism so how am i going to say i would be a good lawyer some day 😂
totally get u ! although, i remember one argument with my dad that brought tears to my eye. i just wouldn't stop, i sat in the bathroom for hours. something sparked. u will cry ! it's what makes us human. but to stand up strong afterwards and sticking to your word, is the real deal. i love to learn ! something that keeps me running. and that is... the biggest reason why i want to do law. i want to learn how to put emotions back and to stand up for a client. that made me feel... powerful after thinking about that. also shoutout for the dad for making me cry coz i feel that found my passion. i hope u get to be, what u want to be.
same LOL
Ask me what i work in 6 years
This is really helpfull😊
Glad it was helpful!
Such a substantive video 😇
Great video! Great insight into what lawyers do and addressing some misconceptions people have about lawyers! I recently graduated law school and passed the bar exam. Unfortunately I lost my job due to coronavirus cutback and I started a channel documenting my journey back to getting a job and starting my legal career. I decided I would use this setback as a set up to make a comeback! I would love any feedback people have! Keep up the great content!
Can u plz give me some tips I'm still deciding if I should pursue it or not🤔 I'm 14
How are things going? I subscribed to your channel but there's no public content now. I'm an attorney in North Carolina and also have a legal-themed channel. :)
I am an apprentice lawyer and I can say it is fun to be a lawyer 🤩
Very nice❤❤❤
yes i love debating in school
literally me after watching better call saul
I like arguing to make a point that makes me feel like I was born to be a lawyer
This really good. You need all the traits or be prepared to develop them. Five would not cut it. If you are reading this at 17 or 18 years old then you can learn these skills.
I relate to 8.5/10 of these. I have ADHD time blindness, but that can be handled with meditation. I say 8.5 because I have dyslexia, and a lot of the time, I’m only good with books if they hold information/are on a topic I’m interested in. I don’t have the best focus when it comes to books on topics such as maths and engineering, and doing the things mentioned such as drawing a relevant conclusion may be a bit difficult as I am not interested in maths and engineering, but when I am interested in the subject of the book, I can do all that very well, and I’m interested in law. I do want to become a lawyer, and I’ve been told that I’d make a good lawyer quite a few times, but I’m just worried about how my disabilities/disorders may set me back from becoming one.
I honestly have no idea what to do with my life I'm a 17 year old kid who has many passions in different areas of the topic such as art, film creation, engineering, but I also love going into depth of a story because every case of the law is one giant story if your willing to study in, and that's one aspect I love about it, going into every angle of a story, and possibly defending someone from a crime they didn't commit and let the story be a true one regardless but I have flaws with all of those subjects, because I have so many passions for different subjects I can't pick one I'd want to do, I love doing many things and wish I could do them all, but I want to have a passionate job and live a good healthy stable life. if anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it because I'm really lost what to do with my life. And have an amazing day.
I can't begin to tell you how much I relate to this.
I just turned 18 like a few weeks ago. And I'm supposed to go to university to study yet I gave such diverse interests and I'm expected to choose a path. You're not alone.
So relatable. I scored 10/10.
My dream is to be a judge though
Same!
Im sure you will be a great judge
Same
I love it
