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.
