Advise for a law school hopeful?

<p>I agree with FL55; the market for law jobs is almost unbelievably difficult. My advice, if your heart is set on law school, would be to major in something you can get a job with. In other words, with a business degree, if law school doesn’t pan out, you might be able to get a job on the strength of your degree alone.
But please do a harsh, realistic assessment of job prospects before entering law school, and keep in mind that in the law that pedigree is everything(I give you this advice as a non-top 25 law school grad with a liberal arts degree); going to a non-top school guarantees only one thing: a lot of debt upon graduation. With 44, 000 new JDs each year, there will be no guarantee of a job. Everyone assumes it’s the other guy who won’t find a job.</p>
