My Daughter A lawyer?

Marissa did quite good with her SPM results with an A+ in English and an A in Bahasa malaysia and an A in maths. She got all the three core subjects squared away fortunately and now where to go from her. After choosing and that from Fashion Design to Linguistics she has now settled to becoming a lawyer something she had wanted to do in the past but with my disapproval. I told her that if she was going to make it as a llawyer she'd have to be a bad one as the good ones end up not making good money! Dont know where i got the idea from but at that time I thought being a lawyer was a bit not in her character.
Her uncle Zakaria howeer had talked to her about it while he came to fethc her and her brother from our accidient site to send the two back to Penang via bus. He tried to convince her that she should become a lawyer as he once was. Now i am beginning to agree with them as i can see it her character as having the Bahari Nastiness when needed to be, we call it the Bahari scowl, the dirty mean look that either scare people or piss them off. Its the look that is like a volcano is about to erupt from within and this is something that a good lawyer aught to have in a fight.
My daughter when little was spunky and never afraid to get herself into trouble but she has the ability to keep it inside and seldom explodes in her emotions but when she does heavens help her source of problem.
Ya.. maybe a lawyer may not be such a bad idea and the country can use one more good lawyer to replace my idol Karpal Singh when he retires. I wonder what my friend LeeKhai has to say about it.
