      If you’re smart enough to be a lawyer then you’re smart enough to be a vet. Both require great analytical and people skills. So if you want to be a vet, be a vet. If you don’t you’ll only kick yourself later when you are staying up all night studying anyway then working 40-60 hours a week as a lawyer when you really wanted to be a vet. Besides you can make great money as a vet and make additional money from owning your own veterinarian practice. After all, what’s stopping you from later opening up your own practice?

      But if you want to know more about being a lawyer here you go:

      While lawyers conduct most of their work in offices, libraries, and courtrooms, they will also find themselves traveling to gather evidence, appear in courts, and meet with clients. Hours and workloads vary among attorneys. Salaried lawyers usually work a fairly standard schedule and receive a standard paycheck, while those at private practices usually work overtime, and bill their clients by the hour. Private practice lawyers clock overtime hours mainly because of large amounts of research, client meetings, and document preparation. On the whole, most lawyers often work long hours, with about half working 40 hours or more per week. They often face additional time pressure when a case is being tried due to the large amount of preparation required. Generally, legal work is not seasonal, but tax lawyers and other such specialists will often experience work peaks at certain times in the year.

      A typical day for a lawyer will depend heavily upon the type of law they are practicing. But in general, lawyers will spend a lot of time researching, preparing paperwork such as briefs and contracts, preparing for and participating in trials, and advising clients. All of these activities require them to spend long hours in law libraries and online databases researching laws and precedents
