[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t do this unless you have a really really good reason. Otherwise it will likely be a huge waste of money, time and energy[/quote]

In immigrant families it's a prestige to be a lawyer. And so many people in this area who can afford this area and make so much money are lawyers. I'm not getting the 'miserable' lawyers on here? what's your deal?[/quote]

NP. I'm not a miserable lawyer, but, I absolutely hated law school. Agree with the above poster who said there is zero intellectual stimulation in law school. If that's the reason OP wants to go, there are far better and less expensive ways to achieve that.[/quote]

I didn't realize that my experience was unique or unusual - but I did find law school intellectually stimulating (went to Columbia - don't know if the school itself matters). But I hated practicing law and it took me 20-plus years to pay off my loans because I hated it so much and kept moving around to different, ever more low paying jobs.

Go to law school if you see a clear, and achievable, career path for yourself that you actually want coming out of it - or if you have lots of $ to burn so you can do it just for fun. If you want intellectual stimulation, but don't have lots of $ to burn, I'd find it elsewhere. Maybe adult education classes - those are pretty inexpensive, and can be really interesting. [/quote]
