I am a civil lawyer, pilot, author, and wind energy pioneer.
I do a little bit of everything. On the law side, now I have the luxury of only taking cases that interest me and sometimes I even take them pro bono. This involves researching the case, collecting and presenting evidence, going to court, doing a lot of paperwork, etc. On the wind side, I get to go out into the field and work with landowners to build wind turbines on their property.
You need to be good with people, but above all, you have to be organized and focused.
Here's the first step for high school students
Study hard and do well in your classes. Be prepared for obstacles, but keep your mind open to different paths. Then, focus on one and go for it!
"If you want to be a pilot, then forget law school, you need to go get flight hours."
My dad was a pilot and gave me this advice early in my college career. To a certain extent, he was right, but I had other ambitions for myself and knew that going to law school would be good for me. I also got support for my decision from others in my life.
