<prompt> Human: Hey Guys, first time post so I hope this is the right place. 22 year old, graduated from college last year with a degree in informationcomputer science. I started a job as a networksecurity administrator for a small-to mid size company. Early on working I realized that I wasnt being challenged and didnt have a ton to do most days. Because of this I started studying for the LSAT and preparing myself to go to law school. It was a semi-rushed decision, however, I had always considered going to law school. I minored almost majored in legal studies while in school, as well. In the meantime, Ive been working and living with my parents. Ive been able to save up a fairly large amount. Currently have about 73,000 saved up in cash. I make 50,000 a year and can save about 30,000-35,000 a year. Here comes my problem, Im trying to decide whether it makes financial sense to go back to law school. With the knowledge that I would most likely prefer to work for the government statelocal. Which earns significantly less than private jobs. These jobs normally start at 40-50k in my area. The law school Ive been accepted to would cost about 20-22,000 a year. Id continue to live with my parents for this period and not have any other expenses for the most part, other than 1,200 per year for car insurance and 75 per month on gas. So, does it make sense to go back to school to earn a degree where i would likely make as much or likely less than i do now. While simultaneously spending most of my savings. However, I would earn a degree and likely owe nothing to very little upon graduation. However, if I continued to work and live at home for 2-3 more years i could have 130,000-160,000 saved up. Just wanted to see if you guys thought this makes financial sense. Or is it more important that because I wont owe anything I find a jobcareer that I believe will make me happier in the long run  <response>: NO! Please do your research. Law school is a really poor choice anymore, poorer if you dont have the grades or connections to get into a T-14 school.
