Taking law is going to take a while, a lot of money and effort. While it sounds good that it pays a lot but the capital that's needed to be one is also going to be a lot. And everyone who graduates and passes on its exam becomes an associate and it depends on how long you want to be an associate. The experience ones start their own law firm and that's how they become rich but not just that, they're winning the cases that are being helped and sent to them by their clients. It's kind of hard to get involved with it but only selected people really has the passion on that niche.
It is also risky. I heard or saw lots of lawyer that gets killed. They have lots of enemies. This isn't just a program alone but it is about a mission on bringing justice. There are still programs out there that pays well and at the same time only safe.
I'd rather consider them first. Law takes a lot of money, no wonder why the guy above you recommends that we must have other profession first or preferably those he said there which are top earners too. Other than that, we need a connection. Most lawyers I know are not an average joe. I notice this applies not only in most lawyers but also in other top professions like doctors and engineers. They are often related to politics for example.
