Just because Pajama is new, and might not know this, there is no reason you could give that would make TLS members say, "Yeah, good reason to go to law school."
You Say: I want to be a lawyer
They Say: Why do you want to be a lawyer?
You Say: I like to debate, reason, look for the flaws in logic, or create arguments based on reasoning patterns.
They Say: LOL. Lawyers don't do that.
You Say: Money and Prestige
They Say: No one but big law makes money/No one likes lawyers
You Say: Because I want to help people/Make a difference
They Say: Better ways to do either of those things.
The contrary attitude might make them better lawyers, but it makes conversation tough. Which might make them better lawyers. Its a pretty vicious cycle. Still, never, ever, come on here for validation. This place is a pit of misgiving and cynicism and you're always way too early/way too late, or altogether too serious/not giving it enough. You can get good advice in the general way, but once you start getting away from specific, functional questions then shit'll get derailed on you real fast.
