Is this a good career plan? (financially and morally)?

[saturnnn]

so i want to go to college and major in business, i figured it’s a comfortable major if my grand scheme doesn’t work, it allows me to learn the basics if i do end up opening my own business and i do find it interesting.

then i want to go to law school and become a personal injury lawyer because i am a victim of personal injury and i never got my justice and i feel like my skills work better in law ( my reasoning and critical thinking skills) than medical which was my second choice, then with my business degree i want to open up my own firm.

does this sound like a good plan? will it keep me financially comfortable? is it realistic?

This is not only a good plan and realistic it is great and many people do just this. It will involve a lot of hard work, a lot of study, and a lot of hours when you're just out of law school and in your first firm.

But it is a great plan.

Here's my only advice as a guy just couple (30) years older than you: it is okay for plans to change. The late Donald Rumsfeld once talked about expecting the unexpected. Meaning, that although you don't know what, when, or how, you now that "it" might happen. Plans change. You can change. My point is that that is okay. In other words, let's say you do all this. You get to your first law firm. There it is on the wall: your diploma from Harvard Law that says "saturnnn J. D." You're proud. And you hate it. That's okay -- it's okay to change plans.

In the meantime, you've got a good one. Best wishes!

You're awesome to say that. In about 24 hours it'll give you the option to select MHO. :)

[SnowedIn]

Thank you for MHO!

Majoring in business is not going to be a particularly comfortable decision, just because a ton of people do that, so you're going to need to network and go hard on the soft skills aspect of the degree to get connections and find good employment. Consider something like supply chain management, or some other particularized education that will have more direct application to the workplace.

As for the law school idea; that's what I did/am doing. Just to give you a heads up, law schools are brutally competitive and most lawyers are making shit because of how important the networking side of the job is.

Unless your country has free school system pick one don't build that hugh student debt. You can then see how that career works for you before adding another on top. Because you won't need that business degree to open a law firm, you need many years of experience in the business. And you don't need the law degree to run another business.

It's good if you don't ever want to have kids. This path could be a huge roadblock to finding a husband and having kids. A family member of mine planned something similar and at age like 34 had a child and the first thing she decided was fuck a job and let's have another. Except they can't afford that since she still has student loans and they built into a certain lifestyle. She did have a second but hates not being a stay at home mom.

This is not a rare issue.

As for the future it isn’t written yet & as for your future having a plan is a wonderful thing & whatever path you decide to journey down you’ll be fine.
