Okay, can you elaborate a little more on college? What should I be taking there?

If you choose to go to college, there are two kinds you can do: undergraduate and law school. If you choose an undergraduate degree, you’d take courses that would prepare you to take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), such as psychology, philosophy, and others. If you want to study law at a university rather than taking the LSAT to try to enter a law school, you might want to take classes in history, politics, English, and foreign language, such as French.

Okay. Any other suggestions related to becoming a lawyer?
