I don't look it at as, damn, I have to pay $100,000. I see it like, damn, I'll vastly increase my earning power for the rest of my life, go farther in my education than anyone in the history of my family, learn to think like a lawyer (which should help in other areas of life), join a community of alumni that truly take care of their own, attend a university that's highly regarded in lay and legal circles in the region of the country where I'll practice, which also has a lot of hot chicks and is located in a large metropolitan city close to the beach in southern California for only $100,000.
