Survey shows 40% of students applied to law school, in part, to avoid looking for a job
The survey also found that 67% of the 1040 respondents said they applied to law school, in part, because of the potential earning power lawyers enjoy. Double-ouch!
Um, guys, did you do any research before applying?
The survey was administered by Kaplan Test Prep which also reported a 6.4% jump in applications to take the LSAT. Among the other findings is that 54% of applicants also plan to run for political office some day.
Hat tip to the ABA Journal Blog.
