Even after all that . . . .

I've got a good friend applying to law school. I don't think I can talk him out of it, but I think I can give him some pointers.

He was pretty much set on it. And really, I'm not against lawyers (mostly anyway . . . some of the pointy head bar stewards got it coming to them). But against doing things for the wrong reasons.

A friend of mine in law school put it thusly: "People don't want to be a nothin'. They come to law school so that they can be a 'something' whether or not it was the right thing to do."

I just hope it works out for him. I'm not exactly sure why he's doing it, he's done a lot of work in finance . . . it seems that an MBA would suit him better, but what do I know?
