Masters at stttate U costs something like $30k and only takes 1 year as opposed to 3 for law school at $200k.
That's a swing of over $300k plus 2 years of career advancement. |

The only benefit to accounting is that you can always find a decent job in the field at a decent salary in any market. In law you can strike out completely coming out of school, or get layoff-pwned early in your career and fall all the way to shitlaw, or need to move to another city and not be able to find anything comparable. But there are always more spreadsheets waiting for you at a dead-end job in Duluth. |

Running my own business is 180 and I'd never go back to a firm, but to be happy "practicing law" requires a very specific type of personality. If you have it, then it's not a bad outcome for a polisci shithead.
Not sure why people are suggesting accounting though. That is one of the few white collar jobs that I think would be worse and more soul sucking than law. |

Date: November 20th, 2017 12:52 PM Author: Sexy Internal Respiration Circlehead At this point I don’t think any law school is worth paying full price for. Loans and interest will eat up almost the first three years of your after-tax income, even assuming best case scenario.
If you have no particular interest in law (like most people in law school who wind up there through inertia), I would only recommend if you can get into T5 school and leverage that into a significant scholly at a lower T14. If you can go to Duke/UVA/NW, pay off your loans in Year 1 of biglaw, then start banking and make an earlier exit, that’s a pretty good result, especially given that law school can be a three year vacation.
Even that scenario realies on a lot of assumptions, however, main one being you do passably 1L and aren’t a weirdo, such that you are reasonably likely to get some v100 job. |

|
Date: November 20th, 2017 12:58 PM Author: flesh diverse location 15%
Edit to clarify after reading below: 15% have interest in "the law" - this includes "international immigration human rights humanitarian law" like Amal Clooney and also the uptight conservative bros who wear blue blazers to class and argue with the conlaw prof. I agree with the 75% estimate below if you also include people who just want office jobs and are there as a job queue without some deep interest in being lawyers. |
|
Date: November 20th, 2017 1:00 PM Author: Sexy Internal Respiration Circlehead With an interest in their own idealized and incorrect vision of what practicing law is like? 75%, with intensity of interest varying.
There are a hardcore few who know what it is like through family or previous work, and for some reason have a genuine clear-eyed interest, and those are probably five percent or less. |
