[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a student can't get his/her graduate program funded through grants, TA or scholarships... - they shouldn't be going to graduate school -  at least if they want to get a job when they graduate.  [/quote]

Med school and Law school excepted.[/quote]

PP mentioned grad school, not trade school. Also, if its law school DC is after, top 10 or bust. Not worth going anywhere else. [/quote]

The Patent Office has paid for law school in the past, not sure if they still do or whether other agencies pay for law school.  If you have a strong STEM background, some local patent firms will pay for law school.  [b]The previous advice concerning law school "top 10 or bust" suggests some level of anger[/b] - I'd check the long term track record of grads of non-Top 10 law grads against other graduate school grads.

It actually has to do with the fall out going on in the law profession. Employed lawyers peaked back in 2004 at 1.25 million. It has since fallen to 1.1 million and we graduate 40-45 thousand new lawyers every year. Many JDs now get hired to just do paralegal work. Even Big Law is starting to do layoffs. [/quote]
