Paragraph Response to Work Preference Quiz
I feel like the work preference quiz describes me fairly accurately because what I have learned
about myself as I have grown up is that I am a talkative social person and also I am a leader, so
when the results showed me directive it made sense to me because I like to take charge epically
when it comes to my sports and at school. I felt the social one also describes me quite well
because I always like to help my friends whenever their need whether their sad or something is
wrong I like to step in and help. The one doesnt describe the greatest was the objective trait,
because I dont mind working with tools, but that isnt what interests me the most out of the
possible topics.

required to become a lawyer is two to four years of undergraduate studies, a bachelors
degree from a recognized school of law is also required to become a lawyer and successful
completion of the bar examination that is set by the provincial law society is a requirement
in order to practice law. When talking about the employment prospect rating for the job it is
considered average for a lawyer and what that means is the job is expected to be more
difficult to find consistent work, the probability of being unemployed is higher when it
comes to being lawyer and salaries and wages are increasing, but at a slower pace then a job
 that would classified as above average job prospect rating. All successful lawyers require
certain characteristics, such as good communication skills because when within a court of
law defending a client or prosecuting someone you need to sound confident in your
information without fumbling to help make a stronger case with the jury, a good lawyer also
needs good research skills as well because you dont want to waste all your time preparing
for a case on research you need to be quick and efficient to maximize your time, creativity
seems like an odd trait for a lawyer, but figuring out new ways to tackle a case or present
your information can really help swing a case in your favor, and finally people skills because
as a lawyer a lot of the time your either working with clients or other lawyers on a case, so
being able to communicate well with others is an excellent characteristic to have to be a
great lawyer. If you are good at your job as a lawyer it can pay off very well, the average
yearly income of a lawyer is $115,000 which is quite a lot, but it can go as low as $55,000
and below or get as high as almost $200,000 which is quite a lot, so even though there is a
lot of effort to be put in to get a job as a lawyer the rewards are quite if successful.


Two Personal Reasons Against this Career
1. Being a lawyer requires a lot of reading and though Id be willing to do it, I am not a very
big reader.
2. The cost of becoming lawyer would be tough because paying for the schooling then
once you get out of school there would be a lot of debt because of the many years of
schooling you have to go through.
