[quote=Anonymous]If you pay his bills (including room/board) and he gets into a great school, it might be worth it. But that's if he really has a passion for it, verified by internships, etc. Jobs are few and far between right now for lawyers, so that's a real issue. He would need summer jobs with prosecutors during school - and maybe he could get into the DOJ honors program (but DOJ lawyers do work hard). If he really worked his rear off networking while in school, that would help. I would suggest he try to do a clerkship with a trial judge too (I did a federal district court clerkship after I graduated - experience was invaluable and I met a lot of people working in criminal law). I would try to steer him towards a more marketable major too in case law doesn't work out or he ends up not wanting to pursue it. Also, have him take some undergrad law-type classes. I was able to take a watered down constitutional law class and a criminal justice class in undergrad. [/quote]
