Lawyer? Or Not For Me? HELP🖤

I’m a 16 year old student in grade 10 trying to figure my life out. It has always been my dream to become an attorney (i live in canada, ontario). I’ve lately been talking myself out of it because it is 8 years of expensive schooling; sometimes more. How will i be making money? Won’t studying be consuming my time? almost a decade?? I want to become an apprentice part time to learn more about the job and if it is, in fact, right for me as well. if anyone is on the same boat as me please talk to me! let’s be friends and talk about this stuff. if anyone is currently a lawyer or knows a lot about it please let me know what i’m getting myself into. i’ve done my research although an all around run down of pricing, and everything i would need to know would be amazing. what should i do NOW to prepare??❤️
