If I fucked up in HS is law school the move

Big Law pays rlly well with insane job security and the partners there on average make more than in banking. I feel like litigations would be pretty fun too. what do you think

Do you want to practice law? If the answer to that is anything less than a definitive yes, don't. This isn't to say that the only thing you have to want to do is practice law, but you have to want to be a lawyer.

Otherwise, the answer is don't. The opportunity cost is substantial and there are alternative ways to get involved with just about any field of law. 

 

Its a pretty brutal path that requires a lot of upfront investments including time, energy, and money. Not sure if its something I would do for purely prestige and pay. The pay back period is much longer than most fields.
