Starting School in Fall, Getting Cold Feet

Post by BNL » Mon Jul 07, 2014 3:50 pm

I am getting seriously cold feet about going to law school. Help me out here. Here are the pertinent facts:
  • Current employment: really cool engineering field, 90k/yr + benefits, 40 hrs/week, in Chicago
  • Planning to go into patent law
  • Law school: University of Chicago
  • Expected debt: <50k at ~3% interest
Am I crazy for leaving a perfectly good job to go grind for 35 years in law? Am I crazy for thinking about turning down a University of Chicago education with such little debt? Thanks in advance.

Do you want to be a lawyer? If yes, go. If not, stay.
