I wanted to be a public defender for years. When I was in college, I made an appointment with a local PD and sat down with him to talk about the ins and outs. It's mostly paperwork, and what time you spend in the courtroom is mostly just procedural. That goes for nearly all lawyers. There are very few Alan Shores in this world, and they have to spend years, usually decades being grunts before getting to do the fun stuff.
Rat, setting specific careers aside for a second, what are you passionate about? If you could do something for the rest of your life, what would it be? Something with food, maybe? Or talking to people? Maybe it's creating something with your own two hands! think about the broad terms before heading in a direction. If I had a time machine, this would be the exact advice I would have given myself as a junior in high school.
