<prompt> Human: Im planning on starting law school next fall and dreading the loans I will have to take out to pay for it. What is the best way to go about paying for law school if I must take out loans?Background: 24. Employed. 14K in savings. Earning about 3k a month. No debt. Excellent credit. I dont have any expenses as Ive moved home to save money in preparation for this. I am likely to get into top 25 law school and receive some scholarship money. In the worst case, I will have to take out loans for around 150k. I understand all the pitfalls of going to law school and still want to go based on my experience working in law and my ability to attend a good school. What loans do I take?How much do I take? Is there anything I can do now with my savings in planning for when I get out of law school and the payments begin in 3 years? Have any of you found useful resources not commonly known regarding these issues?Ive done some research and there is a ton of information from formal sources but Im quite certain most of these sources, US NEWS, LSAC, ETC, are responsible for many people living in debt for going to law school.  <response>: stuff going to law school:3. do you have a plan in the event that youre not in the top x percent of your class after your first year? 4. if you are dead-set on law school, go somewhere that you can get a full ride. i would not take loans to go anywhere but harvard, yale, stanford, nyu, columbia, or chicago. you can at least service your loans with biglaw that way.stuff actually practicing law:1. have you worked in a law office?2. do you know what lawyers actually DO, day-to-day?1. you know that lawyers are pretty universally miserable, right? lawyers are six times more likely to kill themselves than the general population-- and 15 of lawyers have drinking or drug problems. thats not an accident.
