While perhaps true, the numbers are worse than meaningless as law school salaries are bimodal, i.e., almost no one makes the ‘average’. Plenty of the t14 grads make big law and start at $190k+bonus. Grads from law schools far down the food chain can make $55-60k, IFF they can find a legal job, which is sobering number if you have just assumed $100+k in debt.

Avoiding debt is always a good thing, and an extra few points on the LSAT can result in thousands of tax-free dollars in merit aid. It’s the easiest money that one will ever earn!
