When most people think of lawyers, they have visions of courtrooms and legal battles the likes of which they've seen in Law & Order. But, the world of law is vast.

Law school doesn't adequately prepare you for the many avenues you can take in your career as a lawyer. So, allow me to help you.

If you went to law school because you know you wanted to argue and fight out court cases and you've always known that about yourself, then it sounds like litigation is your future. And, you'll likely be happy as a litigator.

On the other hand, if you're unsure of where to go, you know you don't want to spend your work like battling things out in a courtroom, or perhaps you have interests and aspirations outside of law, then I suggest looking at becoming a corporate lawyer.

Be sure to leave me your comments, questions, or video suggestions!
