[QUOTE="hb712, post: 14719091, member: 42038"] The job market is improving, but it will be a slow process. We're starting to see salaries for top students from Tier 1 schools increasing again. That said, without scholarship money, student loans become a massive burden for new attorneys. Keep in mind that a lot of jobs, especially the highest paying, go to the top ranked students. Obviously, very few people will be top ranked. I'll tell you that achieving and maintaining a top 5-10% rank is very difficult. Regarding the posts suggesting taking law classes on the side, that's not how things work. You can go to law school part-time, but it's not an "on the side" type of deal. You'll need to take the LSAT, apply to a school, get accepted, enroll, and likely amass student loan debt. The part-time classes will be lockstep courses just like full-time, but fewer per semester. You cannot skip semesters like many part-time programs. Law requires a real commitment. I don't think it is a decision that can be made easily. I will again suggest visiting a law school. See what things are like. Talk to students. Decide what your goals are if you decide to pursue law. [/QUOTE]
