I want to be a lawyer, but I'm having my doubts...?

Question

Well, I'd like to keep a long story short. Ever since September, I've wanted to protect people from pain, and help out whoever I could, whenever I could. I wanted to be a cop to help right the injustices in society, but I decided to do it a different way by becoming a lawyer. And not property dispute or anything like that, but a prosecutor, dealing with the abusers, rapists, and murderers to make sure they aren't put back on the streets. But am i really making the right choice with this? I realize I'll have a pretty nice sum on my head for people who know the people I put away, and I don't want my family to be hurt because of my lust for justice...

Answer 2

I'd suggest buying a car with above-average power, so you can keep up with the ambulances you'll be chasing.
