[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The adolescent brain keeps maturing till age 25+. Better to start a professional career around that time rather than earlier. [/quote]

I don't agree. When you finish your university studies, you generally enter a professional career in a graduate level position.  Nobody is going straight into a high level management role if they have no practical experience.   A 25yo who already has 2-4 years of work experience under their belt generally is much more useful and adept at working in an office than a 25yo fresh from their studies.  I'm sure it evens out at some stage.[/quote]
Law is prestige-focused based on the law school attended.  Most cost-effective route would be to attend an inexpensive undergrad, get the BA or BS with a high GPA, and try for a high LSAT for either T14 admission followed by BigLaw for a few years to pay off law school, or to a lower-ranked law school on big merit followed by local practice.  Work experience in between undergrad and law school is also valuable.  But, taking some fast path through law and starting in a law office at a young age will not get the student to the same place in the same amount of time.  That's just not how the profession operates.[/quote]
