Granted big law is not guaranteed and you could definitely be making about 100k or so - but the reason people are dissuaded from going to law school is you could be taking on massive debt and no guarantee of the giant salaries. But if you have GI bill, that risk is eliminated. I say go for it. I’ve been able to really change the course of my life - I’ve been in big law now 6 years.

I'd considered taking up a 9-5 somewhere but not sure if thatd wear off fast.
