Is it worth becoming a lawyer?

I think that a lot of people go to law school because (1) being a lawyer carries a lot of prestige; and (2) law school is an easy choice for somebody who did pretty well in college, doesn’t really know what to do with their life, and wants to duck the job market for a few years.

In my opinion, these are bad reasons to go to law school and I’m not surprised that there are a lot of unhappy attorneys out there.

If you want prestige and money, get an MBA or start a business and buy an expensive watch once you have the dough.

Just my humble opinion.
