Scary to leave a huge scholarship?

This is alarming for all of the prospective transfers looking to pay sticker. Is anyone else having these concerns like me? If I transfer into the t14, I'd have to borrow all of the money. And to pay it back I'd have to land big law/a high salary.

I basically crossed off georgetown after reading this.

I'd rather graduate from a tier 3/4 at the top of my class with 20k in loans, working a 50-60k job right out of law school THAN a t14 with 200k in loans, and with no guarantee of a big salary. It is scary! Just the interest would be terrifying.

Am I being rationale? I understand that the schools at the top of the list are more reasonable. But even Michigan's placement shocked me.
