I think it would be a rewarding job to be a lawyer, do you think so?

Somewhat. You have to be good at the practical application of legal theory to solve specific problems

Yes I would think so. I think they typically have to have a college degree too right?
1_Wizard
Yes, and since a lawyer can be anyone who practices law in some form, the kind of education differs.

Right I have heard of paralegals too. I know they make a lot of money compared to most other professions

There are certified paralegals that have to pass the Certified Paralegal exam in the U.S. to be a CL or CP.

Oh okay thats right. I wonder what the income difference is in a lawyer and a paralegal
1_Wizard
I'm not sure but in Canada, paralegals can work as independent practitioners.
