Federal+Prosecutor


 * Prosecutor **

Description of Job: When you have this job it usually includes being in a courtroom. When you are in a courtroom there is a jury and a judge. In the courtroom you have to prove someone guilty of the crime. The good thing about this job is that you have the feeling that you are doing something great for the community. Also the pay is pretty good. Beginners usually earn around 65,000 dollars a year, this meets my salary requirements.

The fun thing about this job is being in a big courtroom and having the feeling that the community looks up to you and respects what you do. Right now I love to gather research and I am pretty good at public speaking. If you are thinking about becoming a federal prosecutor, public speaking and gathering information are big parts of being a prosecutor. To become a prosecutor you need two things; you need a college degree, an intern of some sort, and to pass the bar exam. The bar exam is a test that future law students take to get into law school. Once you pass the bar exam you must get into a law school. Once you are done with all this it is recommended to get another intern, and then apply for a job in an office. Job openings are a bit of a problem in this economy, but when I am older the economy can only get better so the job openings can only increase.

Preparation is required for this job and I can do many things to prepare for this job. Usually there are books to read to get a feeling on what to expect in law school or in the real job. I can also interview people with this job, my parents both are prosecutors and interviewing people in this field will not be a problem. Internships are vital for someone in this field. Maybe I can interview at the Westchester DA’s office for a summer or longer. Of course, law school is required to get any job in law, so getting into a great law school would be a big accomplishment in my life. In high school I can take English classes, or speech and debate electives.

There is a DA’s office in every county and in Westchester, of course there is a Westchester DA’s office where my parents work. There are larger DA’s offices in New York City but they are harder to get and there are less job openings in the bigger more important DA’s than in the slightly smaller ones. There is always a chance of getting a job in another state but I would prefer staying close to my hometown. When I am older and more experienced I could maybe start my own law firm and make a lot of money for my retirement. There are many different branches of jobs if I go through this field of work. 

1)  There is a great, consistent pay in the job.  2)  The hours are good.  3)  There is a slim chance of getting laid off <span style="color: #95b3d7; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themetint: 153;"> <span style="color: #95b3d7; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themetint: 153;">4) <span style="color: #95b3d7; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 7pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themetint: 153; msobidifontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msothemecolor: accent1; msothemetint: 153;"> <span style="color: #95b3d7; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themetint: 153;">There is very little traveling. <span style="color: #95b3d7; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themetint: 153;"> <span style="color: #95b3d7; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themetint: 153;">5) <span style="color: #95b3d7; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 7pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themetint: 153; msobidifontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msothemecolor: accent1; msothemetint: 153;"> <span style="color: #95b3d7; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themetint: 153;">The job is exciting and interesting <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">
