[quote=Anonymous]Absolutely not worth it. Even if you go to Columbia, biglaw is not guaranteed. Government or non-profit work straight out of law school is even tougher to land. You cannot "do anything" with a law degree. You need to be a lawyer first and then transition into whatever world-saving, policy job your niece is imagining. Nowadays, that requires going to at least a T14 (preferably T6), getting first year grades above median, and working a soul crushing biglaw job in a transferable practice area for several years until you can escape. Screw up anywhere along the way and you'll find it difficult to recover.[/quote]
