If I wanted to be a lawyer I would have to commit to about five years of study and consider the big fees involved. After I was qualified and started practice I could get clients who had committed a serious crime. I would find it difficult to defend someone who I knew was guilty of a crime such as serious abuse or murder.
There is a lot of committment needed in the job itself as well as the training.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
