Not necessarily.
I have a friend in Buffalo 2 years out of UB probably working 65-70 hours. I know a girl in NY working 50ish. Know others who work 90 for 1/2 the year.
Yup. I wouldn't go to a private school (law, MBA )unless it is a very good one. That is a HUGE loan hanging over your head when you want to buy a house, a ring etc.
I have the possibility of getting the first two years at a top 14 at 33% of tuition. But that's still serious dough and there is a real opportunity cost.

like anything- a top school will help open a lot of doors for you, but if you do really well at any school you have a shot.
You couldn't pay me to go to take one of the jobs the top school students take here in NY - 80+ hour weeks etc. Make a ton of money but it's not for everyone.
Are 80 hour weeks pretty much what all law graduates end up starting up doing?

Just wanted to thank everyone who has offered their opinions so far. I know very few people in the law profession so this helps out a lot. I don't think though that many have come forward to say that they wish they had gone to law school when they hadn't...

It depends on the day. I enjoy the people I work with and when things go well, I get alot of satisfaction. There are other things I'd rather be doing but my career track was somewhat determined by my decision to join the military out of high school. A decision I made because I didn't want to spend another 4 years listening to academics blather at me about things that aren't very important in the grand scheme of things.
If I hated my job I would quit and do something else because it's a luxury I have at this point.
What do you do, if you don't mind me asking.

Yeah I don't want to do it for the money either. Money is nice, but it isn't worth it if you hate what you are doing every day when you wake up. Do you enjoy what you do? Whatever that is?

I think being a lawyer is a great career idea, you'll always have job security. You can sue anyone for anything in this country. If you suck, you can either become a politician and protect your lawyer buddies by blocking any meaningful tort reform or hang a shingle and sue doctors. There's nothing like the satisfaction of making your living off someone else's back. Just ask John Edwards, he made millions and got to run for Vice President.

Yeah, see that's the thing. I don't see myself as the trial lawyer suing everyone type. That's my concern.

Apologies for those who hate off-topic posts. So I graduated from college last year and after hesitating last spring, I am thinking I may go through with law school this fall. I know there are a few people here who have gone to law school have been to law school and some who are now lawyers. If there are any folks who took a non-traditional career after law school I would be interested in hearing about them too.
Basically, I am curious about advice about knowing whether law school is the right thing to do and advice about the field in general. Also any advice about the law school experience itself.
Anyway, looking forward to hearing from some of you folks.
Thanks.

In all seriousness, Wade Phillips probably has the worst respect to winning percentage ratio's of HC's in recent memory.
I suppose as I have found often in my short life, presentation of results often matter more than the results themselves.

After he had a terrible game against the Steelers some papers rightfully wrote about it, questioning his arm strength etc - but nothing over the top.
Yesterday he was very short with the media and today he lectured them about how their job is a priviledge, they have to be fair etc.
I've never heard anything like it in all my life.
Dude, it's pretty tough to act in a sitcom and quarterback an NFL team at the same time. Cut Dewey some slack.

Mr. Steeler Fan, I have seen pass-happy coaches. I know pass-happy coaches. Pass-happy coaches have run my team's offense. Mr. Steeler fan, Mularkey is no pass-happy coach.

If anything, Denver's win has reduced the chances of the Bills making the playoffs to 20-30% let's say. Not to take you literally, but that's a lot different than the million to one shot of the lottery.
Nevertheless, as far as the decision here goes. I would highly recommend the Steelers game over the Indy game even if the Indy game was a sure-bet to occur. It's just so much more enjoyable to be around like-minded fans cheering for your team than to be in enemy territory. Maybe, that's just my personality though....
