He has started that a bit. [/quote]
Getting a government spot doing environmental law means you need to go to a top school and do well.  Those jobs are filled with Harvard and Yale grads.  You'll have an okay salary, but will be counting on the government forgiving your loans.

The other option is going into BigLaw and to defend companies in their quest to destroy the environment.  You will be able to pay off your loans, but it isn't a job for a value-driven environmentalist.

If you can't get a prestigious federal job or get into Biglaw, if you are lucky, then you will make a subsistence wage filing petitions for local companies and individuals.  More likely you won't get a legal job at all.[/quote]
