decent question. The same can be said for pretty much all areas right now though. I know med students scared that "Obama Care" will lower salaries in that field somehow, I know that I saw on the news awhile back that even Ivyleague MBA's are having trouble trying to find work that a BA couldn't as easily get right now too. Recessions come and go, but if you have a license you will find work. There is still a nationwide 11% projected growth rate for lawyers right now. That's a lot better than the projections for diesel mechanics, that much is for sure. I say that as long as people get a job that requires a license and a phd, they will be lightyears ahead of jobs that don't. Remember if you have even a DBA, your boss can replace you with his niece who only has a GED if he really wants to do so(it'll hurt his business but he wouldnt be breaking the law) but it is ILLEGAL to do the same scenario with an MD a CPA or a lawyer. That's why it's worth it to me.

I am a 2L willing to give advise, but it looks like all the posts here are several months old. Any still need any of my 2cents on it?:2cents:

Hello everyone. I am a 2L and willing to answer any questions regarding lawschool, admissions or otherwise that you may have.

I'd care more about your GPA and LSAT score. Remember ANY major can get into lawschool. You could be prelaw with a 3.5 and a 160 and get passed up by someone who majored in liberal arts or theater with a 3.9 and a 170.

Just don't expect them to be able to live with you on campus housing is all. As for grammar. That's a myth. Lawschool dosn't require that or good math for the VAST majority of the classes(writing and lawreview being the obvious exceptions)

sure you can. You have two options. 1) Go to a CBE school (good only in California, but some are even online) 2)Apply to a Michigan school(but it requires a MUCH higher lsat and gpa) As far as I know those are the only two states that allow 60 credits to attend lawschool.
