Ditch, tell us about becoming a lawyer.

Ditch, I know you are a lawyer so this is why I'm asking you. If any of you are lawyers, please pitch in.

Anyways, I'm really thinking about college now. Personal reasons which I really can't get into. I know I'm a day late and a couple grand short but better late than never, right? I was thinking, what can I excel at? We know it's not gonna be fishing. Then I figured how interested I am in civil rights and all sorts of law.

How would I go about becoming a lawyer? I know it takes many years of college and then law school and the BAR exam but I'm not exactly sure how to start out. I know I'm not going to be a Johnny Cochran, getting up in front of people, making the court room ooh and ahh over some startling revelation but you know, there are other parts of law to get into which is fine with me.

So what's the first step? Mind helping me out?

Thanks,
