So - we can see that law school is a big investment of time, money and relationships. Is it worth it?
The obvious answer is that for many people the answer is "yes." They enjoy being lawyers (yours truly being one of them) and while law school may not be the best of times, it is worth it to become a lawyer.
So - the real question then is: do you want to put up with three plus years of hell to become an attorney?
Which, of course, leads to the real question: WHY do you want to become an attorney?
Let's start by looking at why you should not become an attorney. The first step is an obvious answer that any attorney will tell you: if you want to become an attorney to make lots of money, do something else. Becoming a lawyer because you want to make money is the WRONG reason to go to law school.
We will explore this tomorrow.
