Looking into law. Attorney or Lawyer?

Question

I hope to go to LSU after my high school graduation and follow it up with law school. Does anyone recommend a certain school to go to? Also, should I go with a position as an attorney or a lawyer, which pays better, which one takes more in education, etc?

Answer 1

attorney. you get more benefits.

Answer 2

attorney & lawyer are basically the same thing.

attorney pays a little bit more but it depends on how good you are.

go to a law school. a state school such as University of Texas.

education depends on what kind of degree you get.

Answer 3

Attorney = Lawyer...

Answer 4

An attorney and a lawyer are the same thing.  Now, as for whether you should work for the government or in private practice after you get your law degree and pass the bar, working for a law firm will almost certainly pay more, but working for the state may be less stressful, more regular hours and more job security.  It just depends on what area of law you like and what you want out of your career and your life.
