[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Normally I''d say go with #2 but if your DC is serious about law school I'd say go with #1 to be debt free.  Law school is expensive and sounds like your DC will incur debt to attend.  Considering the job market for lawyers has been shrinking for almost a decade and will continue to shrink, your DC should have the least amount of debt possible so that s/he has flexibility in the job market.[/quote]

No. Lawyers do just fine with[[b]b] some debt. This should not be a big issue[/b][/b].[/quote]

This may be the worst advice I have ever seen on DCUM.  Looks like this kid could be facing at least $100k debt ($25K for undergrad and $25K x 3 years of law school), which is a big issue.  The practice of law took a big hit from the recession, artificial intelligence is increasingly impacting new lawyers' job prospects and clients increasingly don't want to pay for their work.  The huge starting salaries in Biglaw are earned by the rare few.  Meanwhile there are supposedly 10,000 lawyers in DC alone doing temp, document review work at $28-$30 an hour.  Of course there are plenty of attorneys earning somewhere between the two groups but I repeat, if your DC wants to go to law school, incur the least amount of debt possible for undergrad.[/quote]
