<prompt> Human: Im currently in the 1st year of my law degree and Im dreading going back, I just want to quit it. I would have to pay back a lot of money already for rent and the 1st semester. Would it be a mistake to leave now or should I do 3 years of it?  <response>: Youre the only person who can answer this. If you dont want to practice law as a career, you absolutely should drop out and cut your losses. Its a pretty cutthroat job unless youre willing to take a big pay cut vs big law, which could be rough if youre planning to finance the whole thing including living expenses. Maybe talk to a counselor at your college?
