I AM VERY INTERESTED IN BECOMING A LAWYER. BUT MY FATHER IS TRYING TO DISCOURAGE ME, HE SAID THAT MEN ARE TURNED OFF BY WOMEN LAWYERS. THAT MEN ARE INTIMIDATED. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I STILL WANT TO BE A LAWYER.  MY FATHER SAYS HE IS JUST LOOKING OUT FOR MY FUTURE, HE WANTS ME TO HAVE EVERYTHING. BUT DO I REALLY NEED TO LOWER MY GOALS IN OTHER FOR A MAN TO WANT TO MARRY ME?

@ nigergirl,

am afraid your father is quite wrong. am a lawyer and when i tell people that, people look at me differently and give me a lot of respect.

you'd only have problems when you start to argue blindly and not know when to draw the line, again that has nothing to do with the legal profession but the person. anybody that wants to marry you will marry you and will not be scared of the fact that you are a lawyer, just learn to be humble and all. take care.

you can still be a lawyer by proving to your father that you have all what it takes 2 be a lawyer, jst stand on it and you will achieve your goals and again you can still ask him on why he didn't want you to be a lawyer. pls may i know your email id, pls. bye
