I want to go to Law School. I want to be a Lawyer. That is currently my #1 aspiration so I want to make that clear. However, as a second option, I would love to be a teacher. Yeah, the pay isn’t that great and maybe the job market isn’t excellent, but I would still love to be a teacher. However, above of all that, I want to be a Lawyer.

I am thinking of switching my major to Education (currently Accounting) because honestly, I don’t wanna be an Accountant. I chose that because the pay is pretty solid and the job market is decent, but I don’t think I would enjoy being an Accountant. I am hesitant about majoring in Education however, as I heard it may hurt my chances of getting into top Law schools. Though everyone tells me Law schools dont care about your Major, I have also read somewhere that Education majors are looked down upon. I have heard they are compared to PE majors and things like that. Now while I love teaching and I would love to major in Education, I do NOT want to risk not getting into a top Law school. I currently have a 3.73 GPA after messing up in my first semester of College (should have had at least a 3.81) but I plan on working hard and achieving at least a 3.8 GPA. So hopefully my GPA will be up to par and I can do well on my LSATs. I just want to know, would majoring in Education hurt my chances of getting into Law school at all?
