    Question:

    How long does it take to become a lawyer? Is it fun? Where can I go to school?



    Answer:

    It takes at least seven years after high school graduation to become a lawyer - about four years to get a bachelor's degree and three years for law school. After law school you must pass a test called the 'bar exam' in order to become a lawyer. There is a law school at the University of South Carolina and another at the College of Charleston. There are also a lot of law schools in other states. Libraries have lists that rank law schools. No job is 100% fun, but there are fun things about being a lawyer. Many lawyers get to meet a lot of new people. Most lawyers work long hours. Many lawyers say that the best thing about being a lawyer is helping others.
