Borrower beware! (Student Loans)

<p>Aries, I realize that you don’t have much of a choice – I think tuition at the public law schools in California runs at least $22,000 a year these days, maybe more – and honestly, I wouldn’t want my kids going into debt for that. If I had to face the same thing when I was younger, I don’t know if I would have opted for law school. I wanted to do some sort of public interest law; I would not have wanted to be a lawyer if it had meant carrying debt that would have forced me to abandon those goals. I don’t know what sorts of scholarships are available to law students these days … maybe there is some source of funding for students interested in pursuing some of the less financially lucrative fields of law.</p>
