[quote=Anonymous]I can do law school.  Went to a lower ranked but very reputable law school on a full ride, plus some living expenses over 2  T12s where I was admitted— at full price.  I decided then that I wanted a decent work life balance and did not want a very stressful 80 hour week job that would be necessary to pay off student loans.  Did well academically, clerked, went to work for the federal government and never looked back.  Had 3 days of telework before the pandemic and was at home and done with work when kids got off the bus. Now permanently at 5 days a week.  Cannot go over 40 hours a week under my union contract and have an extended flex band. And in the VA burbs with a software engineer spouse, we budget, but we are very UMC.

Meanwhile, I have law school friends taking out PLUS loans for their kids college, because they never saved, because 25 years later, they still haven’t paid off law school loans. Hard pass.

Sometimes, I think it would be an ego boost to drop the name of an Ivy law school. But, not enough to have done what it would take to pay back loans.

People have different priorities. [/quote]
