I don’t think the article is just about law school…or even grad school. It’s about 2 million students seeking to avoid educational debt through prostitution. What led these 2 million students to seek such arrangements is probably the result of many different circumstances and varied scenarios. Hard to judge when not in their shoes. All I know is, as a parent, I’d sooner prostitute MYSELF than make my child feel the need to do so.
On the other hand, I’m sure some of these students are doing this just for extra spending money, or adventure, or fits and giggles, or maybe even because they prefer this type of work to some other means of funding their education. I’m only saddened by the ones who are doing it because they feel they have no other choice.
