Becoming a Lawyer? Classes question?

I want to know my chances of getting in to a good law school.

Right now I'm at a community college because I could not afford a UC and I registered late. I was registered at a tech school, and went for about two weeks before I realized they had lied to me. Admittedly, it was my fault for not looking further in to it. If it matters, it was a school for veterinary technology.

The entirety of classes I could get in to were electives, mainly computer courses.

I've always been a good student, with the majority of my grades being a B or above. I did have a rough patch where I suffered from an undiagnosed mental illness, but it has since been diagnosed and I am receiving treatment.

Later on, after I get my bachelors degree, will this hold me back from getting in to law school?

Should I immediately transfer to a 4 year university? What steps should I take, and what fields should I study?

    Consider your choice.........law sucks...........consider this..........

    56 thousand law degrees are awarded each year........with thousands in the pipe line......law is and will be saturated for years and years.........get something in the health field and you won't have to starve trying to pay off your 200K student loan........just look in the yellow pages under lawyers. ...page after page of attorneys begging for work..........watch TV……loaded with law firms begging for any kind of law suit…just to feed their kids………. the new software can do 90% of what you would hire a lawyer to do.........for $40 bucks........Legal self help just opened in our court house in Feb 2010 they have serviced 900 legal issues in 5 months without the assistance of attorneys……what does that tell you…….go into health care and never want for a good job……..Check this out…
