I'm thinking about going to law school [View All]

[Philosophy]

I've decided I might as well give up trying to get a computer job after being unemployed for three years - it's just not going to happen. I figure that if I sell everything I own and live out of my car for a couple of years while working at a menial job which is all I can get, combined with some financial aid that I obviously qualify for, I will have enough money for an inexpensive state law school. My college GPA was 3.5, and LSAT should be no sweat - I've seen some sample ones that don't look too hard - heck, I already do those kind of logic puzzles just for fun; I got a 1420 on my SATs and I don't think I've lost too much intelligence since then. The only problem is going to be recommendations - I just don't think a letter from my manager at McD's is going to cut it.

I've always had an interest in law, and people often say I write and speak like a lawyer already. I'm logical to a fault. But most of all I'm damn sick and tired of being dirt poor and eating peanut butter sandwiches for every meal.

Any thoughts, words of encouragement, or advice?
