As a high school student, my future career plans have been a
topic of much contemplation. After much consideration, I have decided that I
would like to pursue a degree in law and later become a solicitor. There are
several reasons for my choice, and in this essay, I will explain why I believe
that this is the career path for me.
Firstly, I have always been fascinated by the subject of law. In many ways, it
is similar to history, which I have always enjoyed studying at school. A law
degree requires the study of laws made by man, dating back to Roman times. The
requirement of having a slight knowledge of Latin is also a plus, as it is a
subject that I find interesting.
Secondly, as a fully qualified solicitor, there are many job opportunities
available. Young solicitors are always in demand in general practice, and many
government departments employ solicitors as town clerks and legal advisers. In
addition, many large firms have legal departments that advise on patents,
copyrights, and general legal procedures.
In today's world, with high prices and the cost of living, most of us want to
earn as much money as possible to provide a good life for ourselves and our
families, and to educate our children in the best possible way. As a solicitor
in any of the different spheres, I could easily earn a good salary. The law is
not subject to slumps or declining trade, and as long as there are people, there
will always be a need for lawyers. This makes the career of a solicitor secure
and well-paying.
Finally, in whichever branch of law I work in, I will be in contact with people
and their fascinating human problems. For me, to be surrounded by books,
figures, or machines all day long would be dull and monotonous. I want to work
with and for people, and as a solicitor, I would be able to do this.
In conclusion, pursuing a career in law is a decision that I am confident in.
The combination of my interest in the subject, the job opportunities available,
the financial security it offers, and the chance to work with and for people
make it the perfect career choice for me. |
