<p>I think the solution is to get a bona fide scholarship. For example, if your grades and test scores are good enough to get into the 10th ranked school, then there is a good chance that the 20th or 30th or 40th ranked school will give you a bona fide scholarship. </p>
<p>That way, if you cannot find a job or if you hate being a lawyer, or whatever, all that happens is that you have wasted a couple years. </p>
<p>If your grades and scores are too low to get a scholarship anywhere, then I would strongly advise you to not go to law school at all.</p>

<p>I would give basically the same advice. Make sure that between family help; work; and financial aid, you will graduate with little or no debt.</p>
