It will all be worth it! I took the LSATs but decided against going to law school, I am looking to get my masters in HR...I got a 153 which also helped me decision not to go, my heart wasnt in it and that is not good enough to go to a really good schooL!

But I wish I was in your shoes instead of working at a menial job...all this hard work will pay off when you are making good money and able to enjoy life without worrying how you were going to pay the next bill!

I wish I could go ack to school. I was so overwhelmed when I was finishing my masters and now 3 years later, i would give my left pinky to go back to school. Work *****!!

Re: NWR: make me feel a lil better

Awww, don't get down. If this is something you're passionate about, then all the money and stress and time will be worth it when you're doing a job you love. Try not to focus on the day-to-day 'I'm gonna be in school forever' thoughts, and imagine when you're a well-payed and respected lawyer! Hang in there!

I was in school forever..... 1990-2003..... but it's all worth it. I swear, it may not seem it, but there IS a light at the end of the tunnel!

Re: NWR: make me feel a lil better

If it's a passion for you, defintitely do it. I knew I wanted to be a lawyer since I was 6 years old and went to high school then college then law school straight without taking time off. I was very determined! I graduated from law school in 2005 (wow I can't believe it's been that long!) Law school is a tough process but with determination you can do it. If you take a class such as Kaplan or Princeton Review to help with the LSAT you will do well. I could go on and on. FM me if you need any help!

I know that overwhelmed feeling, except I'm in my master's for teaching, and the hard part is yet to come. But I've been there, especially with so few jobs in the field. If you want it, you will get it. Your hard work will pay off!
