The college advice continues! In the last episode I gave some positive tips for liberal arts graduates on how to make the most of their lives and even to launch successful careers. In this episode, I tell liberal arts graduates (or even STEM graduates) to beware of the "law school trap." This is a trap that lures many struggling college graduates into promises of a successful career, but many find themselves going from the frying pan into the fire. A real life story and a fictional story hit home the wisdom to avoid the law school trap.   Articles consulted: The Balance: Average Law School Debt https://www.thebalance.com/average-law-school-debt-4588830 (https://www.thebalance.com/average-law-school-debt-4588830) Above the Law: Understanding the Law School Graduate Underemployment Problem https://abovethelaw.com/2019/02/understanding-the-law-school-graduate-underemployment-problem (https://abovethelaw.com/2019/02/understanding-the-law-school-graduate-underemployment-problem) College Consensus: Best Degrees for Law School https://www.collegeconsensus.com/features/best-degrees-for-law-school (https://www.collegeconsensus.com/features/best-degrees-for-law-school) New York Times: An Expensive Law Degree And No Place To Use It https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/19/business/dealbook/an-expensive-law-degree-and-no-place-to-use-it.html (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/19/business/dealbook/an-expensive-law-degree-and-no-place-to-use-it.html) ***** Like what you hear? https://www.truthspresso.com/donate (Donate) to Truthspresso and give a shot of support! *****
