[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, thank you for the great replies.
Re: the MYOB reply, I understand where you are coming from, but my brother has been struggling with this for a few months and has been asking my opinion on it. I know there are a lot of lawyers on this site so I thought I would ask [/quote]

OP, if your brother is already having second thoughts, please tell him to at least defer for a year.  My DH is a lawyer, a very successfull and employed one who went to a top 3 law school, and he tells young people to really seriously consider not going to law school.  He LOVES the law for the law itself, as a subject matter and as an intellectual pursuit, and that made it worth the years he spent working long hours under stressful conditions before he made partner.  We gave up a lot of things along with what we gained because of his career choice.  If he hadn't been in love with the subject matter, this path would not have made sense.

Have your brother take some time and figure out what he really likes to do while working at a job that helps him to pay off some of his undergrad loans.  If, in a few years, he is still in love with the idea of the law as a field, he can reconsider. [/quote]
