A lwyer is a person who practices law, I've always thought about being a lawer.
Doesn't it take a lot of schooling to become a lawyer?
It does yes, also the term lawyer can mean a lot of different things from place to place.
What do you mean exactly?
different jurisdictions exercise their right to determine who can be recognized as a lawyer.
Interesting.  What kind of law are you interested in?
I like public policy, or public defender law. I would like to be a lawyer that helps people across different legal jurisdictions.
That's nice.  Does the profession pay well?
unfortunately I don't think being a solicitor pays well, even though advocate, barrister, and attorney professions do pay well.
With all the schooling required, one would think it pays well.  I always see the billboards and commercials and assumed that all lawyers were rich.
