text: Law school is only a glorified trade school. Ultimately you should pursue something that you truly enjoy. Do not be persuaded by the supposed mystique associated with being a lawyer, it is based out of ignorance. Also, do not believe law school placement office statistics, they are greatly over exaggerated. As much as half a law school class from an average law school will not be lawyers. Think about that before you spend the money, time and effort. I am a lawyer with an LL.M. and a good but not great job and I feel very fortunate. I could have easily done as well if not better getting an MBA.
