So I decided that I'm going to tough it out and go to ODU for pre-law instead of mechanical engineering. Just wondering if any on here is in ODU's pre-law program or if anyone has heard good or bad things about it.

 

im a lawyer.

its not hard at all... you can party your whole way through....

 

Haha, I'm sure it's hard Aren't you still at TCC anyways?

 

of course


one more year yo.

 

Norfolk TCC is where it's at yo, seriously. I should be leaving TCC this summer but....had to take that year after highschool off and party for a year straight, haha. Thankfully it got all the partying out of my system and now that I've got a year of TCC under my belt it's time to decide on a major

 

lol. yea im going during the summer and next year at TCC.... then im done there.. i'll be joining you over at ODU



why a lawyer?

 

Well, it was between computer science, mech. eng and pre-law. Didn't want to deal with any programming for comp sci. and mech eng. just didn't float my boat. I've always have a knack for arguing and took a couple classes in high school that were based on "law". Took an American Politics(but we never discussed politics, it was all about various laws and whatnot) class at TCC and my professor used to be an attorney and said I was good at researching to prove points and it was something I should look into.

And I'm debating on how many classes I want to do over the summer and whether or not I want them to be online classes, haha.

 

ya, Mechanical Engineering to Law is definately a big jump. I'd think long and hard before going into Law. It's going to require 100% dedication(not just during school) to become sucessful. From my understanding law firms are VERY compeditive and you will literally have to prove yourself for the first 5 years just to have the privelage of being hired as a full time employee. If there's any doubt in your mind about wanting to do that type of work for the rest of your life it's better to choose another career path than get half way through it and realize it wasn't what you expected.

Now, if your 100% sure than disregard everything i have said up to this point and the best of luck to you.

 

Yes, well I posted to get peoples opinions and experiences. Actually, the page for pre-law on ODU's website has like a million questions a person should ask them self before going into it, haha.

 

out of the three that you were deciding, mechanical engineering is the TOUGHEST!!
