Hey Zor,
It's my second year as a lawyer. I do litigation. I find the following things to be true: It's boring; it's lonely; you deal with mean, aggressive people and have to be aggressive and at the same time obedient like it's the army. In a way it is like acting, you have to wear a smile around and be enthusiastic all the time.
It takes an awfully long time to learn what to do and a long time to pay off your loans, if your goal is to help the little people. Don't get me wrong, there are hundreds of worse professions, but law is not for the weak at heart. Law apparently has the highest percentage of alcoholics of any career choice.
Just be sure to talk to relatives who are lawyers and friends who may have lawyers in their family so you know what you're getting into. Business seems like a rewarding pursuit.
