I would certainly consider your views greatly as I believe this is a huge investment to undertake (both time and money). Once again, I hope potential law students could come across this post and see the true picture of what a law degree entails  |
for the benefit of people considering law:
the rosy picture of law (insofar as getting a job is concerned), even if it existed before, no longer does. We are in the midst of a (massive) oversupply of law graduates, the effects of which we will continue to feel for the next 5 years. With the number of fresh lawyers fast approaching the 1,000 per year mark, and the already-bad job situation now, there are plenty of good law graduates who aren't getting jobs.
TL;DR / in summary: new law graduates -> no jobs
