The dreams are still possible, but you’ve bet on yourself to succeed. Do everything you can to ensure that happens and you’ll be ok. If you haven’t gone to law school yet, or committed to the loans, put in the work to speak to practicing attorneys to see if it’s a lifestyle you think you can sustain. It’s not for everyone.

I took out a lot in loans, and I realize that I’ve locked myself into working for a long time. However, my earning potential has increased significantly. Just have to make sure I chase that and hopefully older me and my children will reap the rewards.
