So I just graduated from a competitive high school recently and I am waiting to begin my freshman year of college. Since the beginning of high school, I've been pretty set on becoming a lawyer. However, I've been receiving a lot of negative feedback about pursuing a career in law since job opportunities are running out quickly and there is a likelihood that I will not have a stable job seven or so years from now after earning a JD. Moreover, my parents have been pushing me towards a career in the medical field ever since I was little and they are still insistent that I do. I'll agree that it is the safer choice, but I'm still not certain yet. If anyone can offer any advice about what I should do with my life, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any information about medical malpractice law, that would be wonderful too. Thanks!
I graduated valedictorian with a 4.23 GPA. I have taken twelve AP courses in total and scored a 4 or 5 on seven of the exams so far (results of the other five to come later). I am capable and have no fear of undertaking the challenges of either field.
I kindly ask that everyone omit the advice "do what you love" or anything similar out of any answer. Trust me, that will not help me.
