Columbia undergrad, law school hopeful

<p>Ignoring all the back and forth and statistics about law school… YOU ARE NOT A STATISTIC!</p>

<p>I know people that have graduated from Harvard law that can barely function in a real world business environment, and I also know graduates of law schools who are barely ABA approved who are the top of their niche of law and make tons of money. </p>

<p>It comes down to you and your own skills as to whether or not you will be a success in life, (not the school you attended).</p>

<p>So focusing back on the law school question… becoming a lawyer is right for some and not right for others. The problem is that when you do not conduct proper due diligence to investigate who you are and compare it to the type of work that lawyers do, you will most likely not be happy with a career in law. </p>

<p>My firm hires lawyers relatively often, and I can tell you they are not all from major law schools… the people hired are often those that you can connect with and those who you think can handle the job and be productive without too much oversight. </p>

<p>You have to learn about the different types of lawyers and whether or not your own personality fits with the work that those lawyers do on a daily basis.</p>

<p>Take a look at the below articles and fully educate yourself before committing to law school. </p>

<p>Hope this helps! </p>
