I want to be a lawyer when I grow up and have my own law firm. The average pay for a Lawyer in Florida is $117,270 (sokanu). I want to stay in Philadelphia because there’s a lot of individuals who aren’t getting the justice they deserve due to the color of their skin. Making this much would put me in the upper middle class. Knowing this isn’t a lot of money, it’s just enough for me. I wouldn’t change my career just for money. I want to be happy where I work, and I love helping/defending people.
