[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Law school was the best decision that I ever made. IF you think about it, it's one of the only professions where you can hang your own shingle if all else fails with little to no start up money. You can operate your business with you, yourself and only you.

As a young mother with difficulties paying for FT childcare, starting my own business was a god send. It was tough in the beginning but I will tell my daughters that law is a great entrepreneurial venture for working women and mothers.

I do not think that I would've had the same rosy outlook on my profession, however, if I didn't run my own business and manage my own time. That's a game changer. [/quote]

Actually, many professions allow for you to put up your own shingle based on intellectual properties alone - it’s called consulting.  The problem with law is that many get involved because it appears to be a quick path to wealth.  Then the professional became over saturated and salaries stagnated. I make 2x more as an HR professional (with the ability to consult / hang said shingle), with a lower entry-point (little student debt), then my brother in law who is a run of the mill attorney[/quote]
