Law School Transparency is worth a look before attending law school

I don't work for LST or have any relation to them whatsoever. I couldnt find any post related to LST so I am creating this thread. I know at this point nothing can dissuade you from attending law school, and that is not what this post is trying to do. But I want to make sure the few who are still wondering whether going to a TTT or even TT is worth it should really take a hard look at the LST report before doing so. You've heard this over and over again but $150K+ debt at such a young age can crush your life permanently to no return. Even if you go on a full ride, it's still 3 years of your life and an uphill battle for a decent job. I know so many people who graduated from Top 40-50 law schools, passed the bar on their first try, and still don't have a job a year after graduating. It's not because they are incompetent or awkward. There's just not enough jobs to go around even in big cities, especially for young lawyers. And you are always competing with more experienced applicants with better academic achievements than you.
At least take a look so that you will be going at it informed and have no one else to blame.
