Should you go to law school?

I get this question a lot. Whether someone has been dreaming of going to law school since they were young, to someone who is fresh out of college and only recently considering it.

My answer is always: Yes, if, and only if:

1) You recognize you will need to work harder than you’ve ever worked before;

2) It’s not going to be easy. You will hit a lot of bumps and run into a lot of walls, but you need to keep going; and

3) Be prepared for disappointment. Be prepared to work at a few firms before you land your dream job.

As long as you know those 3 things, and still want to go forward, I say do it. With some grit and a lot of perseverance, it is definitely worth it!
