<p>“so, is law a fairly lucrative, recession-proof career?”</p>
<p>Maybe I missed something, so if this was sarcastic, sorry.</p>
<p>If not, NO NO NO, ha. I’ve heard a lot of people say things like “the economy is bad so i’ve decided on law school”. Bad idea. Lucrative? Depends on your field. Recession proof? Man I know about a dozen lawyers looking for their first job. My gfs godmother is one of the most successful pharm-lawyers in the country and she advised me against going to law school.</p>
<p>Then again my choices were outside the t14 schools, which a lot of people tell you are the only path to a law career right now.</p>
