Sticker anywhere is pretty rough. But if you just want to get a job grinding away in middle-tier NY biglaw, it seems to give you really good odds of that.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if BigFed DOJ/SEC/CFPB with PSLF actually amounts to higher take home pay than 300k with loans and NYC biglaw. It is almost assuredly so if you max out 401k, further reducing AGI.

You're damn right it's a damn fine choice and you're a damned fool if you even consider paying them back traditionally as long as you have PAYE. Just get biglaw, get a mortgage with your biglaw salary, even with the student debt you'll swing a 600k mortage. Quit biglaw after 2 years, avoid all payments on student debt forever and build equity into your house with a 70k gig. Easy lifehack.

No, sadly, it's not. Do you know how much biglaw sucks? You're going to have to do it in NYC out of cornell, so it's even worse than usual. You're basically looking at 3 years of law school and then 5 years to pay off your debt. Don't forget, interest runs while you're in school and NYC is expensive as fuck. So, in 8 years you'll be back to zero net worth. Then what? Unless you have a good answer to this, I'd think about pulling out.

Exactly. And if your answer to "then what?" Is something like I'll just do some prestigious government job, public interest or "business," none of those are at all likely out of cornell + 5 years of biglaw.
