[quote=Anonymous]Def. not worth it if will just add to his debt.  Definitely.  Because even if he does get a big law job making big bucks in 3 years (sorry but unlikely from Univ. of Miami law school unless at very top of class), he'd have to stay for years and years to pay off all those loans.  And what if he changes his mind or wants to do something else?  I went to a top 20 law school with a good scholarship and managed to get out with only $40K in loans.  Paid them off in 2 years at big law and then have been able to really think about what I want to be when I grow up (not a lawyer at a firm).  I would never, ever have been able to do that with $150K in loans like some of my friends had.  They are stuck, stuck in their big law jobs.  And that was in a market when you could get a big law job (I graduated in 2003).  I wouldn't discourage someone from law school generally because I actually liked it and like some aspects of being a lawyer but only if you can pay for it yourself or get scholarships.[/quote]
