I am married to a massage therapist/acupuncturist, and have had dealings with lawyers. Pros and cons:LMT (licensed massage therapist)Pros:Your clients will tend to love and appreciate you, as you help them feel better.Independence if you open your own practice.Lots of invitations to weddings of your patients’ kids.Cons:Not much money.LawyerPros:Chance of wealth and power far beyond those of ordinary people.Special legal rights, since ordinary people are forbidden to do some lawyerly things.Cons:Wealth and power depend on a risky competition for prestigious jobs.Near universal hatred, as many people who have had to deal with lawyers feel cheated.You commit to defending people you believe are guilty.You spend your work day around lawyers.
How is a lawyer better than a psychologist?
A lawyer can give your life away by pleading you guilty to murder.A psychologist can suggest to your lawyer that you plead no contest.Seriously, a lawyer is “better” when you have problems at law. No two ways about it. If you have emotional problems it would be better to see a psychologist. The “counselor” part of law is with regard to law only.With regard to counseling skills here is what LSAC states“Lawyers also spend a good deal of their time giving clients legal advice. Few ventures in the modern world can be undertaken without some understanding of the law. Through their knowledge of what the law involves, lawyers advise clients about partnerships, decisions, actions, and many other subjects. In many cases, the lawyer’s role as a counselor serves as much to prevent litigation as to support it.”

Depends!Pros of PhysiotherapyIf you want to work in a hospital physiotherapy is betterYou can set up your own clinic if you have access to good fundsYou can become a sports physiotherapist if you are really knowledgeable and have good contacts.

Can I become a lawyer after studying psychology? Will it be better for me to do pre-law?
If you're in the US and going to do a JD in an ABA acreddited law school, then your undergraduate degree can be whatever you like so long as you can get good grades. I suggest getting a degree in something other than a pre-law, political science or history degree unless you can think of another career path using that degree if law school doesn't pan out. There are far more people who think about law school than those who get to the point of finishing the undergraduate degree with the necessary grades and then obtaining a sufficiently high LSAT score. The only issue that I can see with studying psychology is that the job options are limited unless one continues to get more education whether to become a licensed psychologust, a medical doctor or a licensed professional counselor.Even if the first things happen to get a person into a decent law school, there are people who get to law school and either cannot successfully complete the degree or more importantly do not want to finish. The idea of law school is quite a different thing from the reality of law school. The same can be said of being an attorney for a career if one can pass the bar exam. Although it isn't something one generally considers well in advance, there are people who end up with a law degree who cannot pass a bar exam, so their undergraduate degree can become an important factor in finding employment.I encourage anyone who is considering law school to think outside of the typical degrees unless there is some particular passion for politics or whatever subject. My undergraduate degree is Journalism (Radio-TV-Film), and my “sequence” where my studies concentrated was television production. I loved every bit of that except being on camera. If for some reason I had bailed out of the legal career path, I knew that I could work in TV and love it. I had other options in that I had been offered a scholarship in vocal performance and had thought about teaching as well.I went to law school with a lot of people who had the “usual” degrees, but a vocal performance, foreign language, education or engineering degree would stand out from the crowd of applicants. Good luck!
Should I become a lawyer or psychiatrist?
Well, I’m a lawyer and my husband is a psychiatrist. We both make good money, but he makes more than I do and has better job prospects overall (signing bonuses, tuition reimbursement, relocation benefits).I'm a trial lawyer, so I work weekends getting ready for trials, but he has both weekend shifts and night call. Overall I suspect he works fewer hours than me, but nobody is going to call me at 2 a.m. ever. (Some lawyers are “on call” types; I am not.)Both of us have found our jobs are collegial ones, where we tend to get along with colleagues (and for me, my adversaries). But most of our close friends aren't from work. We both help people at our jobs. We both get frustrated with the amount of paperwork we have to deal with.But perhaps what really matters is figuring out what you like and are good at. I love to read and am the type of thinker who is fast on my feet. I also like to argue and outsmart my competition. My husband is much more a people person, very methodical. He's also the doctor they call when a patient won't take their medication, because he has a true gift for treating everyone in his life with respect and genuine concern for their wellbeing. If you figure out your strengths, then you’ll be on your way to finding a profession that allows you to use your best skills regularly.Good luck!
Psychiatrist or Lawyer?
I love science, and hate math. I'm an excellent debater and love to write. I love the concept of becoming a psychiatrist.. all the books and studying, but I love to sell ideas, and argue. Regardless I want to help people. I don't care about how much money is earned. I would be a child psychiatrist, or a family lawyer. Im having a hard time deciding. I hate math, but Im not terrible at it. I hate paper work too. So dr or lawyer?
