I dunno.  DH has some small town, so called "shit law" lawyer friends from his hometown.  Most of them went to an unranked TTT regional law school that is nearby with scholarships.  They seem pretty happy with their lives.  50K can go a long way in a low COL area if you don't have to service six figures of debt and it is not super high stress lifestyle.  There is a certain amount of respect that you get from doing white collar work in a generally blue collar environment.  It's not for me, but it works for some.

Also, I think in trying to warn people about how rough the job market is, people say a lot of generalizations like don't go unless you can get into Harvard/Yale/Stanford, or don't go unless you can get into a top 10 or T14.  It sort of depends on a number of factors--if you are content to stay in a certain part of the country, some markets recruit heavily from regional schools.  Perhaps post some of your questions on TLS forum for a more nuanced picture.[/quote]
