I can't edit my original post, so I'll write this here. I wrote this in a misleading way: "But (some) students still want to do it, despite the stark reality. As best I can tell, they don't see alternative options. This group is shrinking however, which is why law school enrolments are in free fall." I didn't mean their prospects have improved. I meant that more students are realizing that going to a really expensive law school just because you have poor prospects is a lousy idea, given today's bubble. Non-technical students are still utterly confused as to what they're supposed to do after college. Though I think more will start figuring out what you've written. A college degree and a college experience is a nice thing to have, I think. But I doubt it's worth $250K as the price of basic entry to the job market. Something's got to give.
