What are you interested in doing after school? I looked at law school, took the LSAT’s twice, decided that I had no interest in actually practicing law and that while it was helpful I didn’t need a law degree to get into what I do now. I saved probably $200K when it was all said and done and instead got my masters in poli sci at Rockefeller. Law school is a pricely and timely investment, and unless you really WANT to be a lawyer, I’d err on the side of caution. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/career-choices-itt/262522)._
