Hi all! I’m considering law and have a few concerns.
Firstly, I’m already 20 turning 21. I’ve taken a few college courses (like two semesters worth) in social work but know that’s not what I want to keep doing.
Law genuinely intrigues me. I know it’s very cliche to say everyone’s always said I’d be a great lawyer, but it’s true. I know family saying something is one thing though. My concern is that I’m not quite smart enough for it. I’ve always been an excellent reader but have always struggled in math and sciences. I also struggle to do schoolwork unless it’s genuinely challenging.
I guess my first concern is going back to undergrad. I work full time and it would be hard, and take me longer than other students. I already feel behind. Add law onto that and I feel like I would be so far behind.
I’ve bounced around a lot on degrees (social work, criminal justice, professional communication, public relations, international relations, business management, economics), but have no idea what one would be best.
I know I’m getting ahead of myself but I genuinely am not sure if I’m too late in the game. Perhaps I’m overreacting and overthinking it? I’ve just already tried college once and want to make sure it’s something I really could do and want before I try it again.
