agreed with this person, btw. I like my job 80% of the time BECAUSE I love being an attorney and reading legalese and arguing little antfucking details of everytthing. If that sounds awful to you, DO NOT DO LAW SCHOOL because it's all law school is.
Also, even if you DO go to a top law school, there's no guarantee you'll get a job, even if you do well. I had a 3.6 upon graduation (top third for my school), a strong writing sample, good recommendations and a spotless work history, and still sent out over 600 job applications before I landed my current position, which allows me to live only slightly better than paycheck to paycheck.
