Here's thing about becoming a lawyer: There are SO many avenues of the law to explore if you live in a city like Los Angeles, New York, etc.
Real Estate law, entertainment law, copyright law, tax law etc. You can become a sports agent or work as an agent for an entertainment agency, a movie studio, a real estate development firm (large or small) and so on and so forth. Plus, even if you get a law degree and don't practice law, you're a very attractive candidate for other jobs within varying businesses. Firms of any kind always want intelligent people and a law degree speaks volumes, IMO. Now granted, most of the lawyers I know and work with are either Ivy Leaguers or guys that went to law schools in SoCal (Southwestern, USC, UCLA, etc.) but as long as you're accepted by a prestigious university and do well, you're pretty much set for life and will always, under any circumstance, be able to find a job. |

Conversely, one of my pledge brothers worked a restaurant during undergrad and then two years after getting a business degree and is studying law in the Ivy League.

Just personally, man...I can't see how people can do it. I suppose if I were super interested I 'might' be able to. I'm confident I would have failed out of college if I attended. I don't think anything interests me to the extent of dedicating that many hours to it. My brain must be broken.

I have one good friend that took advantage of Paramount's extended schooling program. They paid for any and all schooling, so she worked 40 hours a week and went to night school for seven years and got her law degree. I think she was around 30-31 when she finally earned it and now she's head legal council at a rather large publishing company. I have another friend that graduated from the University of Miami School of Music, played cruise ships for 4 years, then went to Southwestern University in SoCal. He's now a VP at Warner's. I have lots and lots of stories like that. |

Most of the people I know had a passion for the field of law in which they wanted to work. So for example, if you're a drummer but not good enough to a be session player or touring sideman but want to work in the music industry, being an entertainment lawyer is the perfect in. Same goes with any field, really. The problem that I see with young kids is that they don't have a passion for something OR (and this is even more important), they don't know what's actually available to them AS options. |

Parental guidance and advice is 90% of the battle. If people can't show you an example, it's often a very difficult concept for people to otherwise accept. |

Companies always need salesmen. Why not apply for inside sales positions and then obtain your MBA? Rockhurst has a program and KU is right around the corner.

Dane, How important are grades when you graduate law school? I applied a few years ago and was accepted into KU, UMKC and MU law school but I never attended. I never could really figure out if law school was worth the cost, or if I should just get my mba and go that route. |

Her first job, which she got before she even graduated, started $250k in Manhattan. She got a 3.9, IIRC. |
