Avoid public accounting at all costs. I've never been so suicidal.

use it to be a corporate attorney. 5 years of that and you can switch to any field you want.

all you do is get good grades/graduate live at home and study hard for the LSAT then go to a top 30 law school then get a summer job at a corporate law firm. if you do all of this and the firm is legit you should be making at least 160k/yr after you graduate and pass the bar

Probably working for a cartel or something

That's certainly an idea. But what about scalablility? I feel like it would be more profitable in the long term to scale a financial advising company than a law firm.

>>16593726
How am I supposed to get a job in that?

>>16593811
so you work a corporate attorney job for 10 years and your salary is giant but you want more, so you leave the firm and join the board of company..then another and another and another until you've been on/are on the boards of all these companies and you've got a nice piece of equity in each. By this time your net worth should be around 5-10mil. After that who knows, a lot of these types like to run for Congress lol
