Actually, there is a need for "good" attorneys. If I practiced, I would be poor - I can't get myself to charge much to those who can't afford legal services, so I'd end up doing a lot of pro bono work!
I'm mulling Constitutional law and corporate law, as well as becoming a prosecutor (district attorney, asst. AG, etc.). Maybe a defense attorney. I just don't see myself being a trial lawyer--they're way too slimy.
Nor as a public defender--I'd be inclined to take many cases pro bono or to work for the state at a salary. Both of which just don't seem right for whatever reason.
