One thing to be very careful of is that its often the case that you can get money to pay for school but they must expect you to live in a cardboard box or something. Look at how much your living expenses are and see how many hours you'd have to work at near minimum wage to support it. You can't pull a full course load and work a million hours and have your GPA live to tell about it. I generally max out at 10-12 hours of work a week during the semester ( ... )

I know people who have been able to live off student loans. it depends on how much you ask for.

I would add this: Don't go to school just for the sake of going to school. Make sure you have a plan. What career are you trying to make for yourself? What do you want to be? Then decide what type of grad school degree you'll need to get (if any). Then, and only then, go back and get your bachelor's or whatever you need in order to get that grad degree which you'll need to get into that profession. Work from the top down to decide exactly what you need. Don't go in without a plan.

I think quitting is a bad idea...take it from one who knows. You should continue the status quo at least until paw is no longer running her practice. I would say 5 years is on the upper end of her range.....If you stay here long enough, you will be able to command a really high salary at many firms, especially if you aren't sure you're going to law school. As many years as you can get working here, the better off you'll be.

You have the benefit of other people's hindsight so take it...it's no hype no hyperbole advise!!!!!!!
