On (1), I will be heavily in debt. But the long run financials may well outweigh the initial cost.

At this juncture, (3) is assuming greater weight than (1).

I presume I would have had attachments and whatever not in med school, but in any case, why should having a "single day of work experience" be a relevant factor in the first place?

Hello. Great for you.

Please wake up your idea. Don't waste your parents savings on a new degree. Life is about responsibilities not personal satisfaction. I'd be so sad if I were your parents!

Any seniors know of any law grads pursuing this unconventional route?

There's ONE person from NUS Law who went to Duke-NUS, not too long ago.

Ask around. I'm sure this person's name will come up eventually.

But then you must have a very compelling story to tell.

The person who did so is very exceptional in terms of mindset and calibre.

You must ask yourself very honestly why you're doing this? Is it simply to run away from a poor job market, lack of TC etc.?

Running away from the realities of 1 degree into another is NOT the solution.

Medicine graduates nowadays have their own career challenges, if you've been doing some reading up. If you don't even know what I'm talking about, then clearly your aspiration is just that, i.e. "toying" i.e. not serious at all.

then your parents how? you ever spare a thought for them?
you don’t need to bring food and monthly allowance and pay off existing law school school fee loans meh?
you only care about yourself, what about your aging parents and money?

or you ah sia kia type? born with connections and wealth
nothing to worry, take gap years explore your inner self
write books and show off achievements while don’t have to work to survive
