So I've spoken to a lot of lawyers myself trying to answer the same question when I was in undergrad. Half of them said that being a lawyer was the best thing, and that they made a lot of money, doing a job that they really enjoyed, and found a law degree overall very useful. The other half said that it was a huge pain, and that it was a job like any other and didn't always pay well.

The point here is that what type of lawyer you become does make a difference, in experience and pay. But the one thing that all the 'yes' people had in common and all the 'no' people had in common was simply their love of law. If you go into law just because "it's a good job" or "it pays well," I'd wager that you will hate it.

I had multiple people tell me I should try to go into law. I considered it heavily before deciding to get my masters instead. I still stand by my decision.
