[quote=Anonymous]My sister and her husband have a HHI of just under $300k. Their kid gets $12k a year in aid (out of a total cost of $90k), so they need to come up with $75k a year between savings, grandparents' contributing, kid has a work-study job, etc. So, you could get aid but it won't be much unless you go in-state public or get some merit aid. However, I am a practicing lawyer and there's a huge number of law jobs between legal writing and Biglaw. I am a partner at a tiny firm where each lawyer makes around $400-$600k a year while only billing 1200 a year. Biglaw is not the end all be all - you may actually like the practice of law again if you found a position at a better/no name place or went inhouse.[/quote]
