[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good. Too many attorneys and too much student debt being acquired.

Signed, an attorney 10 years out and still paying off my loans[/quote]

Law school costs WAY too much and there is a marked oversupply of lawyers in the market.

I'm in the minority I think, in that I really love practicing law now but government law doesn't pay off that debt very quickly.    Moreover, most lawyers I graduated with seem desperately unhappy - especially the ones who got the coveted high-paying biglaw jobs.  Of course, they don't have the debt I do ten years later . . . .  For those without even a shot at those jobs, lawschool is just a shitty investment.  seriously.  I have classmates who did well at my top 5 law school and spent a year or more unemployed and/or ended up employed in something non-legal.  I know a couple who ended up in bankruptcy.  Another friend is a law professor at a good regional law school and reports that her students for the last few years have had trouble getting ANY job.  [/quote]
