In the US, you need to graduate froma four year college with a Bachelor's degree; then attend a three year law school to obtain a Juris Doctorate, then pass a two day (in some states 3 day) examination on law and be deemed morally fit.  \n\nThen, on your first day, a client asks you what to do and you literally quake in terror.

4 years (or less..degree is needed) for BA or BS, then at least a Masters in Psych for therapist. Psychologist is a PhD playing like he is a doctor. Ph.D's take 2-4 years additional time over a BS/BA.  Masters take as little as 1-2 years. Go for it.

Being a lawyer is a long hard road.\n\nStart with a bachelors degree, preferably something related to the type of law you eventually want to practice. Then, after getting reasonably good grades and graduating, you take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).\n\nAfter you've taken the LSAT, you get to start applying to law schools. Once you are accepted, you get another three years of studying all the general fields of law. Remember that lawyers in the US have earned a Juris Doctorate, which is a post-graduate degree. \n\nAfter those additional three years of study, then the fun starts. The Bar exam. Imagine a comprehensive final exam covering everything you've learned in the core classes over three years. Two to three straight days of testing. Then you wait 3-4 months for your results.\n\nI graduated from law school a week ago, and am now studying for the California Bar. Over 1/3 of all the students in my entering class dropped out during law school. Of those that actually finished law school, almost half will likely not pass the bar their first time. That's California average.\n\nIt's a noble profession, despite the reputation that lawyers have gotten in the general public. But it's not an easy road, and not for the faint of heart. Good luck.

To my knowledge all accredited law schools in the US require a four year college degree, but that could be a B.S., it doesn't have to be a BA.

You need to do several things to become a lawyer.  First, you have to go to law school after college.  Law school is 3 years.  Then, you have to take and pass an examination (called the bar exam) in most states.  (A few states allow graduates of their own law school to skip the exam.) After you pass the bar exam, you apply to the Supreme Court of the state in which you want to practice law, Florida in your case.  You have to show that you have never been convicted of a crime, that you are not bankrupt, etc.  Once you have passed the bar exam and your application is approved, you take an oath and can practice law in that state.\n\nSalaries vary a lot for young lawyers.  Starting salaries in the biggest cities for the most-sought-after graduated can be well over $100,000, but this is VERY unusual.  This kind of money is paid by a relatively few large law firms who hire only the best-qualified graduates of the most highly rated law schools in the country.  These are, roughly speaking, the Ivy Leage law schools (Harvard, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia and Cornell), plus other top-notch law schools like Duke, Stanford, the Universities of Michigan, Chicago, California, Texas and Virginia, and a few others.  \n\nMost new law school graduates earn far less than that.  Moreover, many take jobs in government and elsewhere that are not strictly lawyer's jobs.  Some go to work for public interest groups representing poor people or working on civil liberties issues.  These lawyers earn small incomes but get great personal satisfaction.  Of course, some new lawyers go out on their own, "hanging up a shingle" and seeking out clients.\n\nLocations?  There are lawyers in every town large enough to have a courthouse.  But most of the jobs, and all of the highest paying ones, are in large cities.\n\nGood luck!  And keep your grades up.  The best law schools take only the best undergraduate students.
