Think I'm going to give up on college and play Euro Ball.

At $50K a year for four years of undergrad, plus another three years in law school, adding in the same costs, you will ring up $350K in costs to go to college. As a lawyer, you'd have to jump to the top of the pay scale and, with no expenses, you'd still take over 4 years to pay back your college costs. Physical therapsist are now required to have doctorates ---- that's a sevn- or eight-year program and you'd spend the next 8 or so years paying all that back --- with no secondary items lie food, rent, kids, etc. to hold you down. If college costs continue to rise, and with no guarantee that you'll have a job on graduation, something's got to give. The debt continues to escalate.

bk --- get some sleep son.

I.T. workers with just a few years of experience and some Cisco certifications make 70 to 100k. Just for reference.

If someone has the money to spend, then sure, law school ain't bad. I wouldn't recommend becoming a lawyer to anyone, especially if you have to go in debt to do it. I'm learning the hard way.
