1. I dont feel like I have the same opportunities i would have if I had a JD. I dont have a large professional network law school or working a firm might provide. my BA and MA are in a specific area of policy/politics that i am beginning to despise and is not particularly lucrative or growing as a field.
2. I dont feel like I have room for career advancement. I had hoped to get involved in lobbying and make more money, develop new skills, but that seems pretty difficult, especially without a JD, ironically.
3. im also a bit of a prestige whore and my resume, while probably lacking in ($) marketable skills, is pretty glowing, so seems like a waste not to pursue something like law school and law, where prestige is actually a big deal, at least at the beginning of a career.
4. 55k might not seem bad, but i live in pretty high COL city and cant save much at all. I've also interviewed for entry level positions in different kinds of fields, but they actually pay less. I have no idea how someone lives in my city making 40k.
I have two alternatives I'm considering instead of law school.
a. MBA at a darden/ross/fuqua type school.
b. grinding it out. i already have a MA. so networking, putting in lots of hard work to impress people, applying for tons of jobs every week, going to events, meeting with alum as a way to find a new job. this isn't really my personality, but this bord has led to me believe that this is a better option than LS.

1. why would a JD be better? if you want the network etc. then go to B school.
2. stfu. you're doing well for you're age.
3. see 1.
4. JD puts you at high risk for fighting over scraps with huge debt. that wouldn't be better than your current situation.
tl;dr: stfu and stop complaining.

Well the answer isn't to go $100k into debt all to attain the goal of "biglaw," which you will loathe. In fact the only happy lawyers I know are the ones doing DUI-type shit -- and I know literally hundreds of lawyers. This isn't a lie.
Find an industry you love, get in on the ground floor, get an MBA part-time while you're doing it, and if you're a smart enough person that you could've gotten into a T14 & landed biglaw you'll move up the ranks in a chill and fratty way.

Why are you poasting this pathetic garbage on Thanksgiving?
You can always reapply. With a 167+/3.9, you could get into any T14. All of my classmates at CCN have shit LSAT scores (160-166). Granted, they're paying full-freight, but they're there.

I did the same thing as the OP, didn't go to law school becuase of this board and now regret it. Working in a career that pays OK but makes me miserable because it's a bad fit for my personality and requires me to project an image of myself I'm uncomfortable with.
Knowing myself, I think law would actually be a good career for me. There aren't many careers where introverted, slightly nerdy people get make a good living.
I suspect all of the "don't go to law school crowd" falls into one of two camps:
1) Type A ADHD strivers who actually probably could do well in business / finance and lamet the "pointlessness" of law and the nerdniness of lawyers
OR
2) Grass-is-greener fgts who would never be satisified in any career unless they made $10 million giving oil massages to supermodels, and have zero perspective of just how bad most other careers are.

You made the right decision.
Unfortunately, you probably can't truly appreciate that without having made the mistake.
