[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are both lawyers, a few years out of law school with two kids. There are pros and cons. We both have jobs we enjoy (not big law) but between student loans and day care money is extremely tight and there are almost no options for upward mobility at this time because the job market is terrible. The only way I would recommend anyone go to law school is if it is on scholarship. The debt is so limiting and the job market is absurdly competitive compared to ten or fifteen years ago. Only if you truly want to do legal work - and have a specific job goal in mind (prosecutor, public defender, attorney in x or y field) would I recommend going to law school. It's no longer a good default degree that you can "do anything with" like they used to say.[/quote]
