If you really know what you are getting into and you have prepared a spreadsheet with conservative assumptions about future earnings and debt payments, then it should not be frightening. <BR/><BR/>If you have done this analysis and you are willing to spend 10 or 15 years living like a student and paying down debt after law school, or if you are willing to continue to Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265032717787926584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506566474892455066.post-45812373083228324652008-07-13T10:44:00.000-07:002008-07-13T10:44:00.000-07:00Cliff,Thanks for the heads up.

And I'll have a SO working so I won't have to take so much out to live on. That will help!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101127526216738295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506566474892455066.post-86594723201695911662008-07-07T10:04:00.000-07:002008-07-07T10:04:00.000-07:00I think the reason people warn about law school is...I think the reason people warn about law school is that law school, like having a child, is one of the few irreversible decisions you can make in life.<BR/><BR/>I attended a top 15 school, but I did not get a high paying job after graduation. My wife is a public interest attorney. Both of us graduated law school in '97. <BR/><BR/>When we met in 1999, we had about $200,000 in total debt.

I knew it, they knew it, and they spent the entire time racking up debt and working on their screenplays. These people were wastes of class space. You're the thoughtful outlier. Rejoice in your superiority.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792206117772893217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506566474892455066.post-66401738309366341132008-05-21T15:33:00.000-07:002008-05-21T15:33:00.000-07:00I hate when people are patronizing about your educ...I hate when people are patronizing about your educational choices. My boyfriend (who is studying for the bar) walks a fine line with this, but at the end of the day I truly believe he's playing devil's advocate in an attempt to make sure that I'm sure. I've run into a lot of other people who want to tell me to go to law school, not to go to law school, where to go to law school...

Because they have a BA and don't know what to do with it, because want to continue living as a student for 3 more years, because mom and dad and everyone else says they should, because they randomly took the LSAT and did well and why not?, because they think there's money in Tokyo Kisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084332531029265401noreply@blogger.com
