So do you think that law is too risky a gamble? Or do you thnk it would pay off as an investment? (Assuming a top 1-25 matriculation)
I had a friend who quit his engineering job to go to law school. Like you, he did extensive research into the law profession. His conclusion was that one needs to graduate from one of the top 10 law schools to have a good chance of recuperating the investment (time/money/effort).
He said that because there is a huge surplus of lawyers, the employment prospects those who went to the schools ranked 11 – 25 is not that bright.
