<p>After one graduates with a 4yr degree and earns their bachelors in say english, history,political science,etc does one usually go straight to law school or does one find a job and work for a while before going to law school. In addition, with only a bachelor’s degree in a typically low paying major, how does one pay for law school?</p>
<p>it’s possible to go to law school straight from college or to take some time off. I know 20-year-old 1Ls and law students in their 50s who are changing careers. The average age at most law schools is mid to late 20s.</p>
<p>As for paying for law school, nearly everyone takes out piles of student loans. 3 years of school plus living expenses can easily come to over $100,000 so it would be hard for anyone (unless they were pretty well-paid or had very generous relatives or something) to just have the cash on hand.</p>
