A Career in Child Advocacy

I have always wanted to help people, and people always tell me that I argue too much, so I put two and two together and figured out that I wanted to be a Child Advocate Lawyer. Interviewing somebody who did the same career that I chose really helped me understand how much time and effort is put into solving to cases. I think that I will be very successful in this career because I have already put my mind to it, and I'm also a very friendly and trust worthy person. In order to be a lawyer you have to have all the characteristics and more.

In conclusion a Child Advocate Lawyer takes the cases of people or kids who can't afford lawyers. They aren't paid very well, but knowing that you may have saved a child's life is the greatest reward of all. Lawyers of any type have to go to school for about 8 years, but have to attend a regular college before they attend law school. Lawyers are needed everywhere so there is no need for me to be worried about finding a job, and the trend for divorce and abuse should stay the same if not increase for quite a while. There may be a lot of hard work put into being a Child Advocate Lawyer, but I think I'm up for the job!
