A law degree is often synonymous with high pay and prestige, but not all lawyers practice the way they’re portrayed in Hollywood. Attorneys can be public defenders, private attorneys, specialized lawyers, judge advocates in the military and serve in many more roles. The skills you learn in a J.D. program are versatile and could be helpful to careers outside of the law.
