It's obvious that passing the BAR is not the key to becoming a millionaire, I would like to hear from those that have gone down this route to confirm whether or not they found a worthy career. A worthy career is one that allows an individual to live a comfortable life and have enough to pay back the cost of education. I know there are other factors to consider when making this judgement.
One of the lawyers I talked to says he makes over 100K a year, but still lives in an apartment with roommates because he pays a lot towards his student loan debt each month. I can't tell whether that situation is what causes his regret or something else. Like anyone else, I wouldn't want to spend $150K in education costs to make, say, 85K a year. I'd rather finish off my education at a state school and make 60-70k a year without the debt of law school.
