Tax law is good. Contract law, too. Both are the kinds of specialties that are always needed and there is some crossover. The only thing I'd warn you about is that attorneys frequently don't make tons of money, contrary to popular belief. Big firms won't usually even talk to law students unless they are in the top 10% of their class. I know of whole companies full of attorneys trying to pay off loans and raise families on about $50K/yr. So be aware of that. Still, if you like doing it, that kind of stuff is always in demand, and you can do it and make a good living. In some cases, you can make a very good living. I would guess that you'd do OK in tax law, though. If you can get a job at a big accounting firm that experience counts for a lot, at least on the accounting side.
