<p>Don’t think like that. I can pull up an article saying why getting a degree in ANY major is bad. There are hundreds of articles saying that Ph. D’s, MBA’s, JDs, etc. are all a waste of time and money. Hell I can even find you articles saying that going to college is a waste of money. They are all opinions from people that don’t matter.</p>
<p>It is the people that don’t listen to the nay sayers and do what they want that live truly successful and happy lives. Trust me you do not want to be an Accountant if it isn’t your true calling. Sure it is the typical “safe” major but if it isn’t for you then do not pursue it.</p>
<p>You have to realize something about this website. The people here are STUPID. The consensus here is that if your degree (not just law, anything) doesn’t come from a top 10 Ivy League school and you aren’t in the top 10 percent graduating then you are F’d.</p>
<p>Which of course, is nonsense. What major cities are near you? Do you think lawyers that work in Dayton, Columbus, Tuscon, etc. all have degrees from the t14? Not at all. Despite what the people on this board say you can go to a non-elite law school, get a year after graduation, and make 6 figure salaries by the time you are in your mid 30s</p>
<p>Now I am not candy coating this. There is a surplus of lawyers in America and the economic climate is still brutal. Thankfully you have a couple of years until graduation to worry about that. It also might not be worth getting a JD if you cant get into either the big state university or a top 50 law school unless you can serious scholarship money from a lesser school</p>
<p>this website is good for many things but reasonable college advice is not one of them. Do what you feel is best for your future and if you work hard everything will be fine</p>
