"The Bad News Law Schools" (New York Times Op-Ed)

<p>Although I agree with Floridadad’s post ( post number 11), I would temper it with the following: I would only go to law school if you have a clear vision and reason as to what you want from your law school education. Thus, wanting to be a lawyer wouldn’t be a good enough reason unless you attend a top 10 law school. However, there are many occupations where having a law degree might be very useful such as financial planning, accounting, with a tax specialty, enforcement jobs such as FBI, etc.
Bottom line: Unless you have a clear vision and reason for law school, I would recommend staying away from it. The worst thing any person can do is to go to law school because they majored in some liberal arts and aren’t sure what else to do with their life. That would clearly not be a good reason!</p>
