[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't understand why so many bright people want to go to law school when they should go to med school instead. The PR machine better get to work on this so the next gen will be brainwashed to go to med school instead.[/quote]

along with what 22:13 said, I will add that medical school, although it has far better job prospects than law school (especially at the lower tier schools--i.e. if you graduate and pass your boards, you will be a doctor) still suffers from a lot of the issues with debt burden that people discuss when talking about law school.  Medical school is also 4 years rather than 3 years, so that's an additional year of cost of living and tuition compared to law school (and there are no summer associate positions that pay 30K for 3 months).  Then you need to be on a trainee's salary for residency for a few years after graduating.  If you want to be a pediatrician or a general practitioner, you won't be making those crazy salaries that specialists make, and it can be hard to service 350K worth of debt on a low six figure job.[/quote]
