In my online class, Principles of Information Technology B, we were assigned to create a real life business. I worked with Makenna Gibbs and we were both the managers and the second generation founders. We made two advertisements, a database of our inventory, the design of the restaurant,  a spreadsheet of our employee’s payroll, a business letter asking for a loan to start our business, and we were asked to explain our experience while we worked on this project.

7 years required full-time study. 4 years of undergraduate study followed by 3 years of law school. Many states require future lawyers to complete a juris doctor (J.D.) degree from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA). You need a bachelor’s degree to enter most law schools. You need courses in English, public speaking, government, history, economics, and mathematics in order to be a successful laywer. You need to take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). That test measures applicants’ aptitude for the study of law.
