Law School Dilemma... PLEASE HELP!

Thank you to everyone for your advice and input regarding my dilemma. I truly appreciate each of you taking the time to read my post and reply, as well as your input! Thanks again! :slight_smile:

@bluebayou Thank you again for your reply, I appreciate it! Knowing that I do eventually want to work the area of corporate/business law is one of the factors that is contributing to my dilemma. Like I stated in my original post, I have heard many times that the only way to get a decent job after graduating law school is by attending a top tier law school and like you stated, that means attending a T20 school if I want to work in the area of corporate/business law. I know that I am putting the cart before the horse in this situation because I have not applied or taken the LSAT yet, but I am just trying to figure out all or my options and see what may be best. I know that I may not truly know until after I take the LSAT and apply.

@STEMsupport‌ Thank you as well for your reply, I truly appreciate it! Thank you for also for pointing out that I may need to step back and rethink what it is I exactly want to do. I kind of feel like I may have already taken a step back which is why I am questioning if I should go forward in wanting to attend law school, but may actually need to take a few more steps back to try and figure out what it is I exactly want to do. Maybe it isn’t truly law like I thought.

@SeattleTW‌ Thank you as well for your reply, I truly appreciate it! I guess I may be putting the cart before the horse about having a dilemma right now. The reason that I feel like I do have a dilemma is because at this point I feel like I have no back up plan. I have been planning on going to law school after I finished my undergrad all throughout college and now here I am less than a year away from graduating and I don’t know what I want to do because of the lack luster job prospects in law. So, I may not truly have a dilemma right now since I have not taken the LSAT. At the same time though, I feel like I kind of do because at this point I have no back up plan with what I want to do if I don’t go to law school. Bottom line is that I am just trying to plan ahead and in the process, consider all of my options.

@ariesathena Thank you as well for your reply, I truly appreciate it! I think that you have misunderstood what I am trying to say in the statement that you quoted. My point with that statement is that yes, in my heart I want to go to law school and work in law. At the same time, I state my reason for feeling that I am in a dilemma is because of the lack luster job prospects. So I am not sure what you are referring to as being “ the worst reason in the history of law school to attend law school”. I KNOW that the job prospects for lawyers are lack luster, which is why I feel like I am in the dilemma that I am in. Also, the reason that I want/wanted to attend law school is NOT because I think that I can’t do anything with my BA in Political Science, it is because I am truly interested in law. I am majoring in Political Science because I am interested in it AND all along have planned on attending law school once I finished my undergrad. I am not thinking of attending law school just now as a so called back up, this is something that I have thought about and planned on doing since I started college.
