I can tell you law school is pretty damn useless when it comes to the practice of law Could easily not go to law school, study a couple months for the bar, and essentially be just as well off with a whole lot more money in your pocket. If only it weren't required

My idiot alcoholic probate lawyer neighbor who is an abject failure in all phases of life likes to tell everyone that his tier 4 law school taught him how to think properly and that if all the successful people he argues with had such education, they would know how to think.
