I second that. My son is going to a top tier law school on full scholarship having made a perfect score on the LSAT --he doesn't think it's all that great --boring in fact-- and I don't think he'd say it was worth the money if he wasn't attending for free.

Congratulations! He's on his way to becoming a law professor. "A" Students become law professors, "B" students become judges and "C" students make all the money, or so I have heard it said.

If he thinks it is boring, he won't be happy practicing law. Practicing law is many things, but seldom boring in my ~38 years of experience.

It's all about helping people and involves one of 4 variations. 1. Helping people who have been cheated. 2. Helping people who have been accused of cheating. 3. Helping people avoid being cheated. and 4. Helping people cheat.

The LSAT is a good indicator of academic success, I suppose. If I had it all to do over again, though, I would major in poker.

If you have to be told to consider going to law school, you don't want to go badly enough.

You shouldn't go to law school unless you want to practice law. Otherwise it's a waste of brainwashing that ruins you for honest work.
