Is student debt a frequent problem with law students? That is my main concern about going into this field. Great video!
hi! i may not be able to answer your question the best as im only 14 but there are some things that i have learned by watching many law related videos as im going to be pursuing law as i get older.
so it is quit expensive to become a lawyer and student debt is a problem. but if you make a list and keep track of how much you may need to spend in the future, you can avoid falling heavily in debt. its best to firstly know what exactly you're getting into (the exams, the money you have to spend to take them, law license, etc). im sure many have been able to avoid it, but based off of the people ive met and talked to, student debt can become a big problem. i understand your concern and it's also been on my mind but im planning to go into law anyways (fingers crossed).
Here's what we got from the American Bar Association:
-Average student loan debt for law students is $165,000 ($148,000 more than undergrad)
-95% of law students take out loans to pay tuition
In short, it is a big concern unless you get a scholarship or have a high-paying job lined up.
