[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only go to one of the v best law schools OR  get a full ride to a school in a city you'd like to practice (or specific area focus you are interested in) in AND make sure you want to BE A LAWYER not - I love (fill in the blank) !  I'll be a (fill in the blank) lawyer.  Doesn't work like that -figure out what a lawyer does - talk to a bunch of them.  Highly recommend working before law school.  ---lawyer from a family of lawyers.[/quote]

Finally. Both correct and concise. Lawyerly, you might say.

I’m a youngish biglaw partner living about the best dream version of law practice imaginable. But I come from a poor background and had immense debt. This guy has it right: T5 or debt free, otherwise do something else. I was neither of those, but managed to dance through the raindrops. I wouldn’t recommend it. I view my career as the fulcrum that gives my kids the freedom and comfort to try and do actual creative, exciting, valuable work. And I’m very happy with that given my starting point. But if my son has immense comfort and worldliness and the best schools and safety to fail, yet chooses to be a lawyer? I’d be disappointed. [/quote]
