Hello My Dear...
After reading your query, firstly I would like to tell you that do not have any fear for any profession. Women have the natural gift of fighting spirit given by God, the only thing is they do not realise this fact and unncessarily remain silent and suffer problems, insults and torture or misbehaviours. My Dear, please do not worry and become confident and I am sure that you have that in you already. Come out of this tension and try living free life. Freak out, enjoy with your friends and also think for your future.
My Dear... I can understand your fear especially when in newspapers and tv we see news about women been exploitated, raped, duped and tortured. But this is not true for all women in the world and the world is really a nice place to live and enjoy.
Your words that "You really wanted to become a criminal lawyer" itself is an indication that you have strong will power, interest, passion and sincereity in you for doing a career. Criminal Lawyer Career is not for girls is a misconception. It is not a male dominant career at all.
A Lawyer basically needs to be an expert in related law and should have the necessary confidence to plead in Court of Law. Now this confidence comes actually from the domain knowledge acquired by the Lawyer through serious studies and practice.
My Dear, you say that you are not confident in speaking to people. But you know what, the fact that you approached us on CareerGuide.com is itself an indication that you are actually a very much extrovert girl and not at all a girl who is shy to speak or fears in speaking.
COMPLETELY REMOVE all these factors from your mind right now, since actually they are just superficial and do not exist altogether. You think you are shy and cannot speak to people, but to me I do not feel so.
Try speaking to your friends (female friends) about this and try to learn their life style a bit which makes you out goingin, outspoken and extrovert more. I am sure that you will feel good and will keep growing wonderfully. Also exercise a bit to keep you body fit and your metabolism perfect. A fit body exerts positive energy and you mind also becomes and remains fresh.
My Dear.. do not worry and take up the law course and then law masters for a great and confident career in law as a lawyer. Best Luck...
