Question: What types of lawyers are there and what is their average salary?

Answer:

There are many different types of lawyers.  In fact, there are too many to list here on the LawForKids.org website.  Also, lawyers earn varying amounts for their salary. 

 

One of the best resources for finding out more about the profession of being a lawyer and how much lawyers earn is from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the department of the government which tracks information about all professions.  The two links below will let you find out everything you ever wanted to know about becoming a lawyer and how much they earn.

Well, there are a lot of different types of lawyers. Lawyers that work in family law, buisness law, medical...you name it! They each take a ton of studying but if you really want to become a lawyer, you'll do fine. If you know that law is your vice, then think of another thing that you like, perhaps even along the lines of family, medical or buisness, and maybe that will help you decide. Best of luck!
