[quote=Anonymous]If admission to a solid law school is the goal, going to the cheapest school possible, majoring in a field that will lead to a high GPA, and preferably a back-up middle-class job in between college and law school or as a back-up option is a good path. That is how I did it years ago: majored in special education at a regional public, paid 0 in tuition, got close to a 4.0 gpa in classes that were absurdly easy, taught for a few years, got a high LSAT score, got in to T-14 law schools, federal appellate clerkship and then Biglaw. Eventually I got burned out in Biglaw, but I had saved enough money to "retire" early and return to teaching and live a comfortable life with summers off. It isn't the path for everyone, but it worked. I guess the only downside with the undergrad major was that I didn't have the background in business or economics that would have helped in Biglaw. I had to learn that stuff on the fly.[/quote]
