Now do compound growth for making $50-100k more per year over just the first 5 years of that 20.


How old is one with a law degree?

$35k with a 3 year head start versus $50k before taxes is still a big deal.

Your response implies that she is guaranteed that extra $50k to $100k for attending Tennessee or South Carolina versus attending LSU.

I'm not being Argumentative. Or presumptive about the jobs coming out of Tennessee vs LSU.

I am laying out opportunity cost in a more comprehensive fashion.
LSU saves $35k real dollars per year.
There is guaranteed opportunity with that scenario.

If you have something that points to a strength of argument for $50k to $100k more per year after South Carolina, im sure the OP would appreciate it.

As others have said, I’d only choose LSU if she wants to stay in Louisiana after law school. Otherwise the others are better options.

OP said it would be ablet $35k over 3 years, so $12k a year.

I'm sure you can do the math and realize that drastically changes your calculations. Each of the respective admissions offices should also have the statistics about typical earning potential right out of college.
