You have to enjoy some aspect of actual legal practice, and have the wherewithal to find a job doing that. For me, I love legal analysis and representing the underdog, and I managed to get out of lawschool without too much debt, so it has all worked out. But I think there are not too many people like me, in great part because their debt did not allow them to explore lower paid options.


Right, me too. Love actual legal work (do not do litigation) and got out of law school with low debt - only 5 figures! My first car loan cost me more per month than my law school debt. I realize that nowadays it's an entirely different calculation.
