I'm A Lawyer: Don't Do It

If for no other reason, the added debt from law school will paralyze your life for one to three decades. Don't do it unless Dad is willing to pay for it.

You're already in a deep financial hole. Don't go any deeper. Few legal jobs will allow you to dig yourself out of a deeper financial hole in anything less than ten or twenty years and all of those basically require top law school credentials and a real commitment to suffering in a sweat shop of a law firm. This is the biggest mistake you could make. Don't do it.

You're A Real A-Hole

Dear LW:

See subject line.

P.S.: I am a male too. You're still an a-hole. You need help. Seek counseling immediately.
