Gosh, I really want to go through with law school and do it, all of this talk about not getting jobs sure scares me though. Are people turning down the lower paying jobs in turn causing the low employment? or are the jobs just really not there at all? I would love to work for a D.A. and maybe after time run myself.

Thanks everyone! I really don't have any desire to do business type litigation, aside from a few side jobs for some possible easy money. The criminal side I'm extremely interested in though, regardless of pay. There is pretty much no way I can afford baylor or smu (poor boy here haha) and I'm not sure about getting in, I have a 3.2 right now and I guess I would need to see my LSAT score to really make any decisions.

I am looking at finishing up undergrad next spring and trying to decide on post undergrad plans. I am considering taking my LSAT in June and applying for law school. Since my school does not offer a law degree, I am considering moving home and going to UNT Dallas or A&M law school in Ft Worth. Will going to a school that is less known be an issue when looking for a job as compared to someone who went to UT or SMU? Any other advice? I know the job market for new lawyers is very weak right now, but I am extremely interested in criminal defense and I actually enjoy watching court hearings (I know lame).
