Niki: What college path is recommended to become an attorney?
I’m a sophomore in high school and I really want to be an attorney when I’m older and I’ve been looking at colleges and college majors and I’m extremely confused. Any advice?

Just major in something that will teach you to write well, organize your thoughts systematically, and speak clearly in a medium to large setting. I majored in Philosophy (which prepared me extremely well for law school), but you can easily major in English, Anthropology, Oceanography, Music, really anything as long as you get those basics. I personally would avoid the obvious Political Science major, as I have known many Poly Sci undergrads who did not do well in law school or pass the bar. Its not what you major in, ultimately. Its what you learn and learn how to do.
