The document discusses reasons to become an attorney, as outlined by Terence Hoerman, an immigration and real estate attorney. Some key reasons include: 1) the intellectual challenge of working through complex legal issues, 2) the excitement of debate and argument for trial attorneys, and 3) law school providing transferable skills that can be applied to other careers if law is not a good fit. The document encourages speaking with attorneys and carefully considering if these rewards appeal to the reader before applying to law school.
