   Thanks RiskManager for the info - I looked it up, and the state where I live (CA) does have the possibility of studying under a sponsoring lawyer, but it appears that the bar pass rate for those coming out of such situations is abysmal, and I kind of...

   Not_a_Hat_Person, RN, thanks for the info and the links to articles. I have to admit, hearing that one of your sisters waited tables after law school scares me. I guess that I would at least have my nursing career to fall back on, BUT I don't want...

   Thanks Wrench Party for your response. Good comparison between law and a Ph.D. Neither are a sure thing! That's an interesting idea to get a masters in a related field. I have an MPH, but not sure if that would do much good (it certainly doesn't ...

   Thanks SubSippi for your response - I am glad to know at least the ones who founds jobs enjoy it! I read that the depression and alcoholism rate is higher amongst attorneys than the general population. Yikes. What you saw with those you graduated w/...

    @RiskManager: I read your other thread, that is good info. I guess I could work in Risk Management without a law degree, but thought it would be really valuable (not sure Risk would be my area of choice, but was considering it as a possibility). Bu...

    @ flyersfan88: Thanks for your reply. I appreciate the info about the pay scale - it's hard to find info from "real people" about that, and apparently it's really variable, so that's good to know. It doesn't sound like it's worth it considering the...

    @xoemmylouox - Thanks for responding to my question. That is good info - I was hoping to work in a health care related niche to use my nursing background. It doesn't sound too cushy from what you describe - especially starting out. Haven't decided...

    @ Scuzzamus85: Thank you for taking the time to write me back. I am also considering LNC. I guess that I thought there would be higher salaries for attorneys, but not sure that is truly the case - still researching. Thanks for your input!
