While I like my job, and also liked being a prosecutor, and have no regrets at the path I chose, I'm not so sure I would do it again if I knew then what I know now...
I'm 18 years into the job, paying off student loans at almost $2,000 a month. They sell you those loans on the premise that you would get out starting at $50K-$75K a year, buy a house, take out a home equity loan, pay off the loans, and take a deduction on the payments.
I started out at $25K, and am now making $75K after 18 years. The house we bought for $120,000 had the value plummet from $190,000 appraisal by the bank to $135,000 when the bubble popped (thankfully before we did the loan).
Too far too many who don't know, or buy the crap the law schools sell, a law degree is a key to open the door to the life of fame and fortune. The reality is that it is an expensive degree that can get you a decent job, making no more than most other college degrees.
