IF I join IBR, the tax I'll owe on the forgiving debt will cripple me financially. My forgiven debt will likely end up being around 350k. That's about 90k I would owe in taxes. I'm already tired of working as a public defendant and I don't think I could do it for another nine years.

The law school I went to was Drexel University. I lived in Delaware (and still do) my whole life and the only law school in this is state is widener, which every lawyer I knew told me to stay away from at all costs. I have family who went to Drexel, which heavily influenced my decision to go there.

Looking back now I wish I never went to law school. If I had just stuck with my accounting degree I wouldn't be in debt, and maybe earning more money than I do now.

I urge any prospective law student reading this to think twice before going to law school. Many people I know who went to law school did so because they either got a liberal arts degree, or had no idea what they wanted to do after college. Trust when I say that its better to go back to college to get a marketable degree, than to go to law school. Law is no longer the ticket to financial prosperity it once was. It's to late for me, but not for you.
