@bluebayou @demosthenes49, your responses deserve a response but it seems a bit unfair to subject the OP to it, as he or she really isn’t asking for this debate . I’d be happy to join the debate on it’s own thread if you want to start it. As to the OP’s concern, I agree that is not the greatest idea to seek a legal career if the OP is going to incur debt or go into it with unrealistic expectations about the job prospects of a person coming out of a middle tier school in the middle of the class. I still believe however, that people with law degrees are more employable than people with a BA, so yes a rational person can still choose a law degree and still come out ahead by playing these odds.
