<p>agreed. I mentioned earlier that OP should do everything in his power to line up a job before graduating from college. </p>
<p>If people with liberal arts backgrounds can land a career-track job with decent pay, many wouldn’t be going to law schools. I think people in OP’s shoes should seriously give job hunt process a lot of effort, and if that fails, re-evaluate law school later, or any other graduate schools.</p>
<p>Many big-firm lawyers being unhappy is completely true. I think that has largely to do with insane amount of law school debt, and grueling working conditions of Biglaw. However, I think law school can be a wonderful opportunity if you can attend a T14 with little to no debt. My friend went to Harvard Law and now works in Biglaw. Last time we met, he wished he could go back 4 years and attend Cornell Law for free rather than going to Harvard Law at sticker. Those 3k a month loan payments, while working 70-80 hours a week, isn’t the most ideal of circumstances. </p>
<p>Where I was going was that law school would be the better alternative, compared to PhD in humanities. You think going to a law school is bad. Getting a PhD in humanities is basically a career suicide.</p>
