Is it worth going to Law School?

The world is ending, why bother now?

Unless, of course, you Are a professional liar, as that's what lawyers are paid to do.....

Wait and see what happens next year.

No point. By the time you qualify there will be only one law:

OBEY

not if you value your soul, its not real law thy teach anyways.

they teach you to be cruel to your fellow brothers and sisters by destroying families and lives all for ego and money.

there are far too many lawyers in the US

and you will need about $100k to get through law school

put that money to something else

liciense to steal

I am a lawyer, and I hate fucking lawyers!

Jew connections are required.

You could maybe get yer own TV program about how not to be a Jew-lawyer.

You can make money practising doing small claims alongside any other job -

check out my site at [link to www.smallclaimsme.com] so if your recouping on your investment but not as a lawyer then yes it is worth it, if you pass.

So according to you no one in this country should do law school.

i have a lawyer friend and he hates it. Only makes aout 90k a year and still paying off student loans in his mid 40's.

Education is never a waste of time.

How much is your soul worth op?

Lawyers are a major part of our problem. Especially, when they wholesale disregard the merits of legal standing, or sue on behalf of people they do not lawfully represent.

A Humanitarian law degree - crisis management, understanding the reasons behind war, and conflict resolution.

You could be part of the solution.

AND - there are some very good laws schools - if you graduate and actually work in humanitarian law, your loans are forgiven after three years.

NOTHING wrong with that. Attorneys are needed, but the ambulance chasers give them a bad name. If you go in the right direction you might eventually hit a case you can retire on or at least pocket a ton of money.

You need to be good on your feet, verbally articulate, smart and argumentative does not hurt either.

If you want normal job security and the ability to work anywhere even from home go into I.T.

no, it is way oversaturated and you will die in a gutter with $100k debt.

My daughter worked as a paralegal and made fairly good money.
She specialized in divorce because its a big business.
Then she got depressed and changed careers - went into hair design. She really likes it.
Now she hears about all the other women who quit their chosen career's (nursing, teaching, real estate etc.) to work as escorts.
Its rough out there.

Real life law isn't Phoenix Wright, OP.

There are lots of lawyers and a nursing shortage. As a nurse you can pretty much go anywhere and find a job anywhere on the planet. Not so for attorneys. Then if you're an attorney you either have to join a group or start your own law practice. Think overhead costs and you would have to provide your own health benefits, cover the expenses of an office, insurance, staff, etc. As a nurse all overhead costs are already covered and you get benefits (health care coverage, sick leave, vacation, etc). Benefits working for the county or nursing probably averages close to 30% that would be coming out-of-pocket if you're self-employed. Also, as an RN one can go to work immediately and not have to build up a practice.

Nursing make good money (generally starting off around $30 per hour in the city). With over-time at time and a half much better. Some nurses make good money roaming to different hospitals with a registry. These are the contract nurses (travelers). We have relatives doing this. They take a motor home and contract where they make a lot of money.

And there are many different types of areas of expertise for nurses so it's pretty interesting if one enjoys this type of work. Male nurses are in demand as well. The other profession that has a shortage is physical therapist who do the same thing when it comes to traveling and diversity. A number of them also specialize in wound care.

It's not as expensive for the training 3-5 years depending on the program. LVN 3 years, RN 3-4 year program.

If you like the idea of lying, stealing and cheating for a living, then yes....

Of course you get paid heaps of money once you become an actual lawyer you'll never have to worry about money again.

What a great idea for someone considering this field! One of these niche specialties would be a good way to overcome the negatives associated with being a fledgling law student--an overcrowded, highly competitive occupation, big student loan debts.
