I've actually toyed with the idea of going back to school for a law degree. . . I'd be a shoe-in for construction law (architecture background with law?) But I'm terrified about the cost. I'm already carrying over $80k in student loan from one graduate degree. . . Not so sure I need another load. Granted one could make it back if things were good in short order, but I believe that fresh-out-of-law-school grads don't exactly make all that much to offset the high cost of the education - and you'd be unlikely to specialize for several years. Not to mention the quality of life issues. Right now I have a pretty decent schedule, 40-hour weeks (occasionally more, but not that often) and stable work. It'd be hard to trade that for 80-hour weeks, dog-eat-dog environment and all the rest just to earn a paycheck in order to pay off another student loan.
Then again, the potential return on investment is inticing. . . Any thoughts?
