re: Life as a Lawyer Advice Needed

I went to LSU law a few years after getting an engineering degree. I had no intention of practicing law because it is terribly boring, and the people are horrible. I just wanted the degree to open new doors and opportunities, which it did. So, make sure she really wants to practice law. She will need to graduate in the top 20% to find a good paying job quickly. If not, she better have a good undergraduate degree to go with it. I worked (25-30hrs/week) through my entire law school career and paid my own way. I graduated with $13k debt and finished in the top 30%. I had zero problem finding a job after law school with my background. Hope this helps.
