I graduated from a school that was #10 on the U.S. news list while I was there, I'm a member of the bar in good standing, but I don't work as a lawyer. My goal in life for the last seven years has been to get out from under the debt, and I finally did it a few months ago. I spent three very stressful years in school when I could have been earning money or at least having fun and it took me seven years of working a job I wouldn't have chosen if I didn't need the money to pay it off doing other work. My recommendation is don't go unless someone else is paying for it or you're independently wealthy. A google or newspaper search will show you plenty of reasons why, e.g. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/business/09law.html . Being a school bus driver could be the last job you ever loved...
