<prompt> Human: My brother got a bachelors in criminology with student loans and I dont know the exact number but I think that put him in debt 30-40k. He then got into law school and I believe that set him back another 60k so now he is possibly 100k in debt. The thing is he failed his first year of law school so that 60k went to waste essentially. So now he wants to get a tutor and retake his LSAT for a better score and try to go back to law school and Im thinking wtf?! Youre gonna be in 300k in debt by the time you get out. Ive tried talking to him about it and he brushes me off like its no big deal. Like when he gets out of law school hes going to be getting paid the big bucks, not to discredit him because hes smart but he was in a third tier law school. Ive also talked about this to my mom and she says things like well its his dream and blah blah. I know everyone has dreams but for some reason this is weighing a bit down on me because the way I see it, hes in for a financial hell in the future and student loans are not forgiven and it doesnt help that everyday on this sub are people stressing the financial mess they are in because of student loans in degrees that are essentially worthless law is borderline IMO because of the amount of lawyers.Im just trying to get the opinions of people that are good with money or even people who went to law school and regretted it and wondering if Im being hard on my brother for thinking he shouldnt chase his dreams.  <response>: You can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink.
