Top Law Schools

Do I go to a t14 and take on debt or Unranked pRt time program full ride while maintaining a job that guarantees employment as an attorney upon graduation? Will I be screwed if I ever leave that job and look for a new one because I attended a less prestigious school or will they consider my work history?

In terms of leaving the job you take out of law school and whether your school will hinder you: it depends on what kind of law you're doing. Some employers - mostly big law firms - will care very much about you school pretty much forever. However, many employers will only care about your experience in what they want to hire you to do.

Like if you could get into a t-14 you might be able to get into a strong regional with money.

In order to receive the best feedback in this forum, please provide as much of the following information in your original post as possible:

-The schools you are considering
-The total Cost of Attendance (COA) of each. COA = cost of tuition + fees + books + cost of living (COL) + accumulated interest - scholarships. Here is a helpful calculator.
-How you will be financing your COA, i.e. loans, family, or savings
-Where you are from and where you want to work, and other places where you have significant ties (if any)
-Your general career goals
-Your LSAT/GPA numbers
-How many times you have taken the LSAT

i mean if you have a cool job and the legal job it would funnel you into is kind of hybrid legal/business inside of a corporation, id basically make sure to keep that. sseems like a pretty cool job without much hours good pay and decent ladder climbing ability.

if you hate what you do and are just keeping the job to make sure you dont lose your job and dont graduate with employment, id t14.

if you like what you do, id prolly just do nothing because law is overrated. but sounds like you have a neat opportunity with some kind of unicorny in house pseudo law still do something else job. these are great jobs, imo.

I would take hamburger university over law school any day. Upon graduation, a mcdonald's fully equipped with crew is awarded (as long as you cough up the huge investment). I wonder if subway has some fruity school like this for its franchisees.

Yea, that's a huge business too.

Do you like the job you have and see yourself staying there for the foreseeable future? Do you have to get the JD to keep it? If yes to both, go unranked. If either one of these is not true, do neither of the options you presented.
