<p>alwaysamom, ^^ I truly wish that you were right. They should be more discerning being college grads,but many are not. If you were right, there wouldn’t be this enormous number of applicants applying to law schools and tier 4 schools wouldn’t be able to charge the outrageous tuition that they charge. </p>
<p>Generally, I have found that 20 year olds are not financially savvy. Some are just plainly desperate since they don’t know what to do with their liberal arts degree. Some feel that they will be that special snowflake that will put them in the top 5% of their class,which should get them some job. Many are in just plain denial.</p>
<p>My son is attending a teir 4 law school. However, he, at least, has solid job connections. He has met many kids who are taking out large loans to cover their tuition. They will graduate with at least 150K or more in debt. This probably holds true for the vast majority of law students. I wish I could just shake most of them into reality.</p>
