<p>If you wish to act as a corporate lawyer some times then you should be licensed to practice law. That means law school and then pass the bar.</p>
<p>If you love taxation and wish to eat, sleep and drink taxation, I would recommend you major in accounting as an undergraduate, take and pass the CPA exam, go to law school and take as many taxation courses you can take. Then pass the bar exam. With these degrees you can practice tax law for a CPA firm or a law firm or a major corporation. You are in the driver’s seat.</p>
<p>If you are not interested in going to law school but love taxation, you could major in accounting and take a lot of tax courses. Another option would be to get a masters in taxation. It is usually a one year program. You don’t have to be an accounting major to be admitted to most masters in taxation, but the accounting degree with the masters in taxation will get you in the door of most employers.</p>
<p>Being a tax lawyer or tax accountant is not a bad career because you are often perceived as a hero by your clients because nobody likes paying taxes. You can also earn a decent living. The downside is that tax law and regulations change more frequently than in other areas of the law. It can drive a normal person crazy. On the other hand, that may be what makes it fun for a lot of people.</p>
