Default Re: so i\'ll have a law degree soon...

I hear from many varied sources that law school is pretty much only good for being a lawyer. Unless you're really energized by the prospect of studying and practicing the law, I would suggest, based on my observations of other unmotivated students at non top 10 schools, that you take dropping out into serious consideration. As I understand it, job prospects are horrible for most law students in the event you change your mind.

Are you sure? I'm fairly certain the opposite is true, especially if you're from a top-rated school. Remember the burnout rate for new lawyers (at least at top firms) is very high. Those lawyers certainly go on and do something worthwhile.
