[quote=Anonymous]I think it also depends on why you want to go to law school.  Jobs are not as easy to get these days, and it really depends on what you want to do with your degree.

I am a lawyer who clerked for a judge, then went to a big law firm, and now am at a government agency.  Each of these jobs have pluses/minuses, and none are perfect (I am looking to move again because I have kids now and want to make more money to finance college/retirement).  I went to a very good in-state school and graduated with less than $50k in debt, so that wasn't my biggest gripe.  My biggest gripes of the law revolve around the firm - how you work nonstop and it's a somewhat bizarre environment.  Same with my friends, though many of them felt trapped at the firm due to debt.

So, if you really are interested in learning about the law and are going into it with eyes open about job prospects, it is worth considering.  But note, you said your relatives would pay for the tuition - what about room/board/books, etc.?  That can add up too.[/quote]
