This is OP! Thanks for the info regarding financial aid for prof schools. I understand it better now.

And I thought giving more information would keep the comments on topic lol.

I was trying to stress that we were just thinking about the finances of it. My personal thoughts now is that I would NOT want her to become an attorney. But we wouldn’t sway our 18-year-old either way at this point. Who knows!? She should learn a lot more about herself in the next few years to more solidify her decision on what she wants for her future.

Either way, DH works in finance where people with law degrees (attorneys and not) get paid substantially for a 9 to 5 job. They are more corporate lawyers and give input on
Contracts, compliance or regulatory issues. Again, we envision  our snowflake doing more…. Actually Making laws and contributing more to societal changes, but who knows!? :) [/quote]

If your husband works in finance and can pay out of pocket for college, why wouldn't you pay for graduate/law school?[/quote]

Not OP.  One school of thought:  Many students end up in grad schools b/c they don’t know what they want to do and continuing school is easy choice.  Then they burn out or just are miserable in school or worse, become the lawyer, doctor, consultant that they don’t want to be.  If paying for school themselves, they are more invested in decision of do I really want this.  [/quote]

This is not what OP is saying.  I don't get why parents who can afford it, wouldn't.  We will pay for grad school and have no where near OP money but we'll find a way to make it work.  Its very hard to get jobs without a masters.[/quote]

It is not very hard to get jobs without masters.  Who convinced you of this?[/quote]
