UI’m a lawyer here. Honestly, I’d suggest you do B.Tech instead of law if you don’t have a strong financial backing (since income for lawyers is around 10-15k in the first decade) or connections with a successful lawyer.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have contacts with high profile lawyers, even among them two (ex and present Advocate General of my state) are nepo babies. Their fathers were judges of the High Court, so they had an upper hand in their coming up. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of effort is still required, but unlike someone who doesn’t have much support from another senior professional, these people earn dividends for their effort while the rest are treated like trash.
Now, you can make it big without nepotism, but you still need to find yourself a senior lawyer who is willing to teach you instead of demeaning you all the time, who is happy to help you grow by keeping you on their team for a long period and should encourage you to engage with clients, argue before the judge and give you room for self-improvement.It’s a really difficult field, OP. There’s a surplus of supply of lawyers then there is demand for them. Mediocre pay and lack of respect from relatives and friends are other things you might want to consider. The profession is not what the TV shows and movies portray, because the legal field is simply hectic with cases too seeing barely any progress before the courts. All this while giving abysmal rewards.
