TLS Sticker Debt Poll

Post by pricon » Sun Aug 20, 2017 1:39 pm

This is based on: goal is to be a lawyer of any kind over any regional preferences, starting salary before law schools is $40k, the person really wants to practice law, the person equally would consider PI/gov and biglaw, taking into consideration happiness, legal employment, LRAP-type programs, and life-long earnings. This is not taking into consideration whether you would go back and not go to law school, only if you would go back and choose a lower-ranked school with huge scholarship vs. a T13 at sticker or near sticker debt.

I made this poll because I think it is very important to clearly distinguish views based on whether the voter is a pre-L, student, or living with their choice post-grad.
