@DavidLat You're right that people go for the wrong reasons and overpay for certain schools. For those people, it's a terrible decision.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@DavidLat But even for those who don't go to the top law schools, it's possible to graduate with little debt (i.e., state school/part time).Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@DavidLat JDs also need to find new ways to do the work they want: pro bono, gov't service, public interest. There's too little imagination.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@DavidLat Last point: It didn't just work out for you. You made it work out, with ingenuity and drive and hard work. -
That should be the model: Find new ways to do what you want. Commit time for which you're not paid. Be creative.https://twitter.com/goldberglawdc/status/688745439697354752 …
