[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Graduate school is an investment in yourself. It will be the best investment you will ever make. Gradually the boomers will be cycling out of their current leadership positions. The people who will replace them will be people who have degrees from graduate schools in law, business and management.  Sure there may be a glut on lawyers and such today, but trust me - before you are middle aged the boomers will die.

If you do not have the educational credentials you will not ever be interviewed for that corner office job.

Coming out of law school it is true that you have to graduate from a top five or ten  school to get hired by a silk-stocking firm, but big law is also populated by attorneys who came in through the back door a few years after graduation by virtue of other life experiences and niche expertise.

Today two or three hundred grand in education debt seems astronomical. However, when you look back after having a successful career and you are nearing retirement in the year 2053, the remembrance and thoughts of the life you've enjoyed versus the $250k you spent to achieve your dreams, goals, and desires; well in hidesight that $250k will be a distant laughable memory.

Ignore this. Law school is pure folly. [/quote]
