It is April. We have not even entered the gate, let alone the finish line.

4 weeks 4 days ago This is going to sound a bit

This is going to sound a bit patronizing, and I apologize, but you're just a 1L.  This thread is not about whether you're liking law school so far and are happy with your decision, it's about whether it's worth it to go to law school in the first place. And the important question certainly isn't "where" you want to practice law. The most important question is "why"...in the past a lot of us couldn't answer that other than "I couldn't think of anything else and I wanted the prestige and pay of being a lawyer." Coming from a someone who practiced, and worked hard, at a large law firm for years, my piece of advice would be, if that's your answer to the "why" then stop right there. Hopefully, that is what the hugely negative response from practicing lawyers on this thread has proven. It's an even trickier question to answer nowadays with the state of legal employment than it was when I entered law school years ago.

Also, if you're hoping to go to a big firm and think you will only have to work especially hard only for the first few years after law school to succeed, you're kidding yourself. Apart from a business opportunity arising for me, one of the biggest reasons I left was that I saw non-equity (and even some equity) partners working insane hours and basically being treated as a glorified senior associates by the firm rainmakers (there were A LOT of other reasons as well).

There is a huge opportunity cost to going to law school. Now that I've been out for a while, I'm not sure what doors having a law degree opens (other than actually working as an attorney) that you couldn't open without a law degree with some hustle. I realize you're excited about your future and I definitely don't know your situation..I just think some of the advice you're giving is because you haven't actually experienced practicing. In the end the OP will make the best decision for him and his family, but I think the whole point of this thread is to explain the reality that sometimes blinds law school applicants and enrollees.

4 weeks 4 days ago I would just add

I would just add that even if you get that big law firm job that many law students dream of, prepare to be disappointed. Some people are cut out for it but most people I knew at my firm were, like me, desperately trying to get out or lateral to another firm where they thought they would be happier (which almost always turned out to not be the case). It is a tough industry, yes you make good money but until you make equity partner (not income partner) it is a stressful lifestyle. I can only speak of my biglaw experience since i joined one in Chicago doing corporate law right out of school and thankfully got out after 3 years to start a business. That being said, having a legal background has helped me tremendously in my life and business and I do know some lawyers who are happy with their job, though again not usually in a big firm. If you know what you want do with your degree, I would do as much research now into what the job entails and if you would thrive in that environment, and just be very real with yourself. Unfortunately, I didnt do my diligence before going to law school and thought id just be happy getting into biglaw and making six figures. That was far from the case. Plus my friends in business and real estate were making far more than me, many with just their undergrad degree. Sorry to be so negative, just wanted to relay my experience. I do wish you and your family all the best with your decision.

Edit: Just for some context, this article pretty much summed up exactly my sentiments when I left my firm job. If you're going to law school to "be somebody," don't do it.

I'm not sure if you're serious. I haven't heard of the hammer coming down on the football program but do you really think loss of scholarships/bowl games is the right punishment for what happened? People need to go to jail...I could care less if their athletic teams suffer.
