just to summarize my situation, i'll graduate in 2011 completely debt free. even if things don't turn around by then, i can't really fathom that i'd be better off without a law degree.
As i am attending a T2 school (albeit upper level T2), i quickly realized that pretty much anyone can get in, graduate, and pass the bar without really knowing how to do anything. it's amazing how isolated law school is from actual practice and how important internships are for developing actual practical skills. On that note, it's definitely a good idea to have worked a full time job going in. However, for people with undegrad degrees that don't entail any sort of marketable skill set, law school seems like the most viable option.
If i could go back and do it again i would certainly have gone into science and medicine, but i just can't justify throwing away 6 yrs of education at this point.

btw Kyle, i've gleaned from your earlier posts that your current job involves mainly contract work, but correct me if i'm wrong. i hated my contracts class more than anything, so i can understand why you'd be bitter if that's the case.
