I was wondering I guess what a typical day as an attorney is like?

Also is it more advisable to take Pre-Law in college? I've heard Classics, LA, or Psychology are also majors which can be considered for law school and would cover some of my side interests more effectively.

The first 2-3 years of being an attorney involve 70-80 hour work weeks, so I've read, what is this mostly consisting of(research for frim attorneys?) I guess what are the first few years like?

I could prolly think of a few more questions but don't want to load it up two much. Most of what I know is just from reading career descriptions and such but never really asked someone in the field directly.
