A local toastmasters club would do the same thing, you'll eat humble pie very shortly. Go try to reason with drunks on Vancouver's Granville St on Friday/Saturdays. I have 2 gfs that went into law with your mindset at their parents urging - they argue well, neither practice anymore and both are under 30. Key difference is both girls are born into money so they need not practice to maintain their standard of living. You want to trade one extreme for another - working a 9-5 job without education to working ungodly hours with a high level education. There are a ton of jobs/careers out there that pay equally well which you will find as honest and rewarding. I suggest you take a personality test at UBC to see which careers suit your goals and aspirations.
You want to see the current predicament of lawyers? look into a legal education in the USA. You'll see the glut of legal minds in a traditional industry dead set on maintaining the status quo at all costs without care for the next generation of bright minds.

You're right, it is still too early to decide which career I will be going into, but as of right now, I have my mind set on being a commercial lawyer or the likes.
Maybe a debate class and personality test will change my mind.
