<p>LazyKid, I think you just repeated what we have already agreed upon (and in fact, had agreed to numerous posts ago): people should be wary about accumulating hefty debt to attending a non-top law school. I have never disputed this point. </p>

<p>But on this point, I believe we disagree. I would argue that there are plenty of students who can obtain top grades and LSAT’s but, frankly, lack the ability to obtain top jobs right out of undergrad. Many of them went to average colleges where top employers simply don’t recruit. Many of them, perhaps unwisely, chose unmarketable majors. Many of them may be ‘supernerds’ who, frankly, lack the social skills to obtain a top job right after college (but yet will blossom as late-bloomers while in law school). For these people, their choice truly is to either attend a top law school or be stuck in some menial, low-paying job.</p>
