[quote=Anonymous]Law school is an extremely significant commitment of time, energy, and most of all, money. You're not likely to get a merit scholarship with a 154 LSAT, no offense.

My husband is an attorney, Big Law, and from second hand experience I wouldn't recommend it. People who graduated law school last year (or longer!) are still having trouble finding a decent legal job. Do you have any idea what kind of law you wish to practice? Unless you got a job making excellent money (e.g., Big Law firm), the investment of school would probably not be worth it. For example, plenty of lawyers make what you do now, and are swimming in debt from law school. And we're not talking they all went to Yale either - even lower tier law schools are expensive.

Perhaps you should think more about why you suddenly want to go to law school. Is it that you hate what you do? What is your skillset and what do you feel passionate about, or like to do? I would think of what other careers may be out there that you could transition to, ideally without having to sink 200K into another degree.

Good luck.[/quote]
