After you finish speaking all your English, bend your head, come close, let me tell you something: If you study Law, you will be poor in life. If you are as smart as you say, study Engineering (Mechanical precisely, its broad and unlimited), or go for IT (start with the programming skills, that's what IT or Networking is all about). If not, you will come and seek for advice on the way forward. 9 Likes |

First, you can succeed in whatever career if you practice it with competence (excellence) and consistency. Secondly, expand your benchmark above Nigeria. The world is now a global village. New career niches are evolving; AI Law and Corporate Law, et al. Think of being a global professional. Thirdly, beyond academic qualifications, you need distinctive soft skills to succeed in this age. Best wishes. MoneyMusthear: 2 Likes |

With versatility and resourcefulness, any lawyer will always make it big anywhere in the world. There're more areas to explore to extract financial success other than from litigation. Business/economic development is one area any versatile and resourceful lawyer, seasoned or not, can always explore and extract success, especially developing nations' based lawyers - it entails creating own leads, though. 3 Likes |

The richest professionals are lawyers. The poorest professionals are lawyers. Don't let poor people advice you on your future, look for those who have made a killing a and excelled in the field of law to request for their mentorship. 7 Likes |

I'm not a lawyer, but I always wonder why lawyers don't venture into Entertainment Law, it sound lucrative to me, considering the amount of record label deals, copyright issues, brand ambassadors deals etc. I believe if you carve a niche for yourself, sky would be your starting point. I'm just thinking aloud. 2 Likes |

MoneyMusthear: Op i can't tell you your chances of succeeding in any given course what I'll say is while in school don't get carried away with your white and black, raising shoulder and chasing girls as per law student. School is the best time to widen your Horizon. If you are not on the first-class try and have a side hustle because most lawyers end up making it through their side hustles than through court cases. Meet with lawyers, ask questions, try and intern in law firms and see one on one how lawyers even those with first-class are hustling. Don't get carried away by the name of the firm. Put your hears to the ground and listen well to the subtle words they say. Except you are from a connected family, it will take years for you to stand on your two feet as a lawyer no matter how good you are but it's possible. If you can port to computer science, great. It helps when you want to leave the country as IT jobs are always available abroad. 4 Likes |

Get into a federal university preferably first generation or reputable private university like Afe Babalola. Strive to make a first class, minimum a 2.1. During your undergraduate studies, enrol into various extracurricular activities that will further develop your skills, personality and NETWORK (it's your networth). Go to symposiums, conferences, speak at events, write, meet people etc. Moot cases nko? Participate. Cross collaboration with other departments like accounting? Do them. Join clubs etc. Participate in internships. Just network profitably. Afterwards, head to law school. As in undergraduate, strive to make a first class, minimum a 2.1. Prepare for LSAT. Again, network, network and network. Apply to top and mid-tier law firms, banks, professional services firms etc. 5 Likes 1 Share |
