[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on what you want out of it. I didn't go to a top tier school (but did go to school in D.C.) I graduated with nearly 200K in debt. I got a job with the feds and got on the income based repayment plan. My loan payments are managable (under $300 a month) and in 8.5 more years the government will forgive my debt (under the public service forgiveness plan). My entire reason to go to law school was to always work for the Feds (although I am not at teh agency I originally wanted to be at). Still, I enjoy my life now and I am happy with the education I got and the friends I made. So for me it worked out (I graduated in 2009).

If one is planning to go to law school becuase they think it is an easy way to make money then I wouldn't go. I also tend to say that if you can't get into a top tier school or aren't offered a good scholarship at a lower school it might not be worth it financially, but again I didn't do either of those things and I think it was still worth it for me.
