One Direction News: Harry Styles Wanted to Be a Lawyer Before Joining 1D; Band's Album Beaten By Justin Bieber's
In an exclusive interview by ET Online, Harry Styles admitted that he wanted to become a lawyer before One Direction became globally famous. Styles, and the other 1D members, spoke to ET's Samantha Harris in Ireland, and the singer revealed his plans for himself before the boy band became a household name.
According to the website, Style's lawyer dreams started even before he "worked hard" to be one. The English singer was only 16, which was still a couple of years before he starts attending a university, at the time he joined "The X Factor" in 2010. His "other" dream was pretty much put on hold since One Direction were immediately catapulted to stardom after the group became the third runner-up on the show that year.
Styles also revealed that he first wanted to become a physiotherapist before wanting to become a lawyer during the interview. However, his teachers told him that there were no jobs in the former, so he decided to change his mind.

Louis Tomlinson said he wanted to be a school teacher to mold the minds of his students, while Niall Horan said he does not have a clue on what he might be doing now. "I don't know how I would have done on my exams, but I hope I would have gone to university. What would have happened there is a different story," Horan said.
In other news, the boy band's newest album, "Made in the A.M." has been battling neck and neck with Justin Bieber's "Purpose."
