Boalt: $250K:

https://www.law.berkeley.edu/admissions/jd/financial-aid/fees-cost-of-attendance/

but remember that interest on student loans starts accruing after 1L. so, after 1L, you have $83K of outstanding student loans, at a weighted average interest rate of 7.5%, and year two you have $166K, so by the time you graduate you already have around $40K of accrued interest.

total outstanding debt at graduation: $290K at 7.5%

yes, but starting in 2012 all graduate student direct loans are 100% unsubsidized. before 2012, used to be something like $6,500 were subsidized, the rest unsubsidized at a lower interest rate (6.8%) up to $20.5K, the remainder GradPLUS at 7.9%. on the subsidized portion they paid the interest while you were in school. $6.5K out of $83K is pretty insignificant though, and any way, it's irrelevant now.

yup, PAYE. just an additional 10% income tax for the next 20 years. no big deal. think of it like paying tribute to your boomer overlords. it will end in your early 50's, which coincidentally is around when the last of the boomers will die.

so you graduate with $290K at 7.5%. that means your interest payments alone each year are about $19K. no student loan interest deduction and those are paid with after-tax money. so just to break even on the interest payments, going to law school needs to increase your earning potential by at least $30K. if you ever want to pay it off, you need to make at least $50K above what you would make without a law degree, and it'll still take 30 years.

for it to make financial sense, law school needs to realistically add at least $100K to your yearly earning potential. even then, in biglaw, you have at least 6 years if you live like a miser of simply paying your debt off, otherwise living the same as if you made $45K per year. longer in higher COL areas. 10 years if you live somewhat normally, but don't buy a house or start a family. longer if you want to do either of those things.

no one should pay that much to go to law school. even if you were guaranteed a biglaw spot

and no one is

it would still be a questionable decision.

This leads to the fantasies of trading places with the gardener who gets to be outside and chill with the other gardenerbros at lunch (of wholesome homemade food prepared according to generations-old family recipes, btw), or driving by the projects and seeing nicer cars and people watching nicer TVs than yours in the middle of the day.
