[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Law, with the caveat that he attends a T14 law school. This is pretty easy to do if you have a good GPA (3.9+, so he should pick a major where this is feasible) and do well on the LSAT. Which is not that hard if you study and retake it if you don’t get a 170.

I went to Penn and pretty much everyone in the class who was interested got a biglaw job, even people who were bozos or didn’t get good grades. Biglaw isn’t necessarily a long-term plan but if you put in a few years you’ll be able to exit to an in house job or the government (harder, but this is a really great option). If you’re at a school like Penn or better, there’s really not much work to be done in terms of achieving a financially stable career after you get in. The path is pretty linear.[/quote]

This advice is not current. With the rebellion against US News rankings by so many top law schools, and a push to de-emphasize standardized testing, law school admissions, like all education admissions, is increasingly subjective and difficult to predict.
