Description
The legal career endpoint that requires years of practice, political connections or election campaigns, and the specific paths (appointment versus election) that vary by jurisdiction. Federal judges (Article III-lifetime appointment) versus state judges versus magistrates. Compensation ($150k–$275k federal) and the honest reality that becoming a judge requires being a lawyer first, usually for decades.
