Should I pursue law?

Hi there, 23F with one year left in my political science degree. I don’t know what I want to do with my life and a family member recently suggested law. It seems like something I’d like but I don’t know….if I were to go into law, I’d have to apply in the fall. I worry that I’ll make this decision too quickly and not know what I’m getting myself into. But what if I don’t apply and realize in a year that I wanted to do it and now wasted a year? I know it sounds silly—yeah there isn’t a set age you should know everything but I haven’t explored what’s out there and networked and I’m seeing the consequences of my actions and I’m nervous.

There are other fields I’m interested in, too: psychology, journalism, maaaayyybe research?

I like writing/editing and helping people out.

What should my next steps be? Again I know that I don’t have to figure things out now but i still want to move closer to figuring things outs

Any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you guys so much.

Silly question but what counts as an elective? I just found out that I have to take an extra semester bc I didn’t do enough electives and I wanna make 100% sure I don’t screw this up.

Is it ANY class not in your program?

You can take electives of courses in your program right? I’m in poli sci—so what counts as a polisci elective?

The only electives I’ve done are outside my program do the remaining electives have to be in my program and if so what counts as an elective in my program?
