If you are applying for universities right now you should already be thinking about what your career path is going to be. Maybe you are fresh out of education and about to enter the scary world of the careers market. You could have already decided what your role in life should be. But if you are still considering your options you should think about becoming a lawyer. Yes, the law industry is competitive but, in all honesty, what career is not these days? The bonuses and benefits of working as a lawyer or solicitor are incredible. Yes, the stereotype is true. Some lawyers are rich beyond your wildest dreams. It is also not just about high-grade averages. To be a top high-paid lawyer you have to have the right kind of personality. Do you have what it takes?
Be Able to See the Grey
If you want to be a great lawyer you need to have an ability very few possess in this world. You need to be able to see the grey. You should be able to see both sides of a law case because chances are you will not get to decide which one you fall upon. Of course, there will be cases where someone is right and someone else is wrong. But there will also be other situations where the question of blame is not so clear cut. For example, if you specialize in criminal law, then you will need to understand the different social factors that cause a life of crime.
Be Competitive
If you have been in a race and found yourself pushing harder to beat every other runner there, law could be the right path. The law is one of the most competitive lines of business. Lawyers go to work every day with one goal and one goal only. To win. This is always their primary objective. Yes, there is the chance to help people and do some good in the world. But if you want to be as successful top dogs like Zaner Harden Lawyers you must have that edge. This is how employees of some law firms win most of their cases.
Be Tenacious
Can you stand your ground and never back down from a fight? Winning your cases will require you holding your point of view firmly. You will need to understand your competitors side of the argument but you can not show any signs of weakness in court. You should understand that you may not have your fists raised but a law case is a fight. It is the battle of the wits and the mind. If this sounds like your idea of fun you belong in a courtroom, fighting for justice.
Do you possess these traits? Then congratulations, you could be a fantastic world-renowned lawyer in a few years. The road to becoming a successful lawyer will not be an easy one. Although the pay can be high the hours will be long. However, you will make a difference in people’s lives every day you show for work.
