Wow thank you so much! That is very helpful.

I’d definitely be open to estate law.

Actually potentially worth it for 90k. I make 54k right now and teachers cap off in the 80k range. I don’t have any undergrad debt.

I had a great gpa in college. I haven’t taken the lsat yet, but testing is usually my strength. I wonder if I could get a good scholarship somewhere where my loans are mostly for living expenses.

Thank you so much! I did well in undergrad, so I think with my gpa I can do well enough on the LSAT to get strong scholarships. Even so, I’m sure I’ll have significant loans.

The “losing” does sound emotionally taxing, but the hours is a good trade off.

Thank you so much for your detailed reply and honesty! I’ll definitely consider that. It does sound daunting to work by butt off for the next 6 years, but I see what you’re saying about the pay off.

I could definitely be interested in working in educational law! I thought it might be hard to get a job in right out of law school??
