[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]

Graduating from law school does not guarantee getting a job as a lawyer, much less a job as a lawyer that pays enough to pay off your debt.

And if you are attending an on-line law school, your chances of getting a job as a lawyer are much much lower.  Your chances of getting a job as a lawyer that compensates well are essentially nil.[/quote]
This.  The jobs that pay really well are at big firms.  Big firms are not going to hire an older student with kids with an online degree.  The feds aren't going to hire an attorney with an online degree.  There aren't going to be well-paying jobs available to you.  An online degree might be fine if you already have a job and a JD will check some box that you need for a promotion or a job you want is a JD-plus kind of thing, but it's not a good way to start off a legal career.  And bar passage rates for online programs are not great, so it might be a total dead-end.  [/quote]
