    This video is so real and not sugar coated. He gets straight to the point. Money is probably the main reason why I wanna study law, I am not a good test taker and I am okay in time management. I feel like I am facing reality here and am giving my career choice a second thought. Thanks for the video!

      You can always train for any test. There’s nothing impossible in this word we live in. Recently, I came across a post in LinkedIn of a man, who graduated fromlaw school in his 50s while having both of his children in college (obviously paying for them, too). And he made it. Moreover, he managed to work during his time in LS. Everything’s possible if you really want it.

    I’m considering planning to go to law school in the future, after I graduate with my bachelors. I’ve given up on some of those far fetched childhood dreams, but being a lawyer is something I would bet a lot of time and money that I could accomplish if I decided to do it. The fact that it’s achievable, worth doing, and is a highly respected occupation makes me enjoy fantasizing about it in the future. Telling my parents I got into law school, passed the bar, and graduated law school would be kind of an unbeatable dream at this point in my life. Aside from that, I’ve always been a person who likes helping people, I love debating, and I am good with words. I’m not a numbers and math guy. But give me a point to argue, and I’ll go at it for hours. I think that I would greatly enjoy the competition aspect of presenting a case against another lawyer, especially if the stakes are high and the payoff is helping a client. The only thing that I can see turning me away from it is if the job ended up feeling boring and repetitive with all the paperwork. The strategizing and arguing in court, that would be the fun part

    I'm in my 40's and I always wanted to be a lawyer . Your channel has inspired me to possibly look into getting back into it. Is it possible to be a lawyer without becoming a member of the Bar ? Probably a dumb question, but some people are allowed to represent themselves in court , or file a lawsuit against someone, how does that work? I want to help people who have been scammed or ripped off . I want to give lawyers a good name; like you are doing!

    Fun fact about long term debt or especially student loans. Just get the monthly payments down as much as possible, think of it as simply another monthly bill til you die. So what if you pay it off in 30 years when your 50. You'll have lost all the money you could've invested to that, and now you're too old to enjoy your money and only have maybe another 10-20 years as a lawyer to make more money. Haggle the monthly payments down.

    the thing about becoming an anesthesiologist is silly; med students accrue significant debt possibly more than law school and then have to go through residency on very low pay. anesthesiology is a 4 year residency making possibly only 50k w/ 2-400k in debt.
