Second and third on the "Don't go to law school." I am a lawyer. The market for attorneys is terrible right now. Over half of last year's class did not get a job within 9 months of graduation. Small and mid-size firms are contracting right now. New graduates are competing with experienced attorneys for anything that comes open. Starting wages are too low to make the burden of law school debt worth it. If you ever wanted to do anything else, go do that.
If you can get into a top school and/or graduate at the top of your class at a second tier school, it might be worth it.
It might also be worth it, if you have an in (ie. your mom or dad owns a firm) or a business plan (ie. you are ready to start your own firm and have a plan for getting clients).
