Does it look bad to be accepted to a school, not enroll, and then apply again a year or two later?

I haven't applied to law schools yet and there are currently other jobs that I would rather take (avoiding debt) but am not positive I will get. Would it look bad to apply to schools, be accepted, not enroll, and then apply again in the future? Or will schools not really care?
Thanks in advance.

This has been rehashed a million times. Use the search function.

The search function hasn't been very helpful, I've searched "apply twice", "apply again", "not accept", and a host of other things that don't produce any results. What would you suggest searching?

I would search "reapply"
In general, I don't think that it looks too bad, as long as you explain why you didn't attend the first time and convince them that you will definitely enroll this time.

If you feel like going to LS is not in your best interest right now, you can always reapply later. Schools likely won't care.

I was searching the same thing when considering doing that - search in spivey's thread for "reapply".
