A little advice on law school

I recently came across a website with excellent advice on whether you should attend law school. It's called:

Should you go to law school?

First rate ideas, there. :-)

OK, so maybe I'm just trying to thin out the herd a little bit, since people are going to law school in record numbers. I do wish, however, I had talked to someone like me before going to law school. I might have gotten a Ph.D in history and taught or become a dentist.

I won't detail my thoughts on law school, as that would take up a ton of room. Fortunately I like practicing law a lot more than I liked law school.

Dentist?? Really? I can see the PhD... but not a dentist. Maybe for the NOSS, but that would be the only draw for me.

At the time I thought that I would be unhappy spending my life with my hand in other people's mouths.

But then I see some dentist contemporaries making three times the money I do and only working 3-4 days a week - hand in the face doesn't seem so bad, then.

And I actually liked law school a lot more than I anticipate I will ever like practicing law-- at least the law that they encourage you to practice (big law firm stuff)
