Law degree

I think it really depends on where you want to take the Software side. Because you could go after a career that involved both sides, software and law. Or are you looking to take a new one because the software side doesn't interest you anymore?

 

hey sythe,

life is short, and it'll be full of regreads. If you choose to take it, you would enjoy it and aswell becoming a lawyer is a TOP job (money wise, depending if your good at it).

 

What field of law are you thinking of specializing in. Maybe a 4 year degree isn't necessary if it's for personal interest, possibly a simple Associates? (I'm sure Australia works differently, but a 2 year equivalent degree would be suitable if it's not for professional work.)

 

A lot of law school pertains to very basic forms of law; that is, that it focuses on preparing you for a career as a lawyer (which is relatively nonacademic) rather than exploring and studying law itself. Because this is not necessarily your career choice, you may find yourself quite bored because of the lack of the scholastic approach. In addition, 4 years is a large chunk of time: it's up to you whether or not you want to occupy those years with law, but just remember how long it will go.

 

Damn, seems the program is quite different than I expected! That's fantastic.

Fair enough. Good luck then, guy!

 

Where will you be taking this??
If it interests you, go for it. 8k a year Is nothing..
And it will be useful in life

 

Education is power.

Having a law degree would benefit you so much sythe.

I would SO go for it if you're willing, capable, and you would enjoy it.


If not, congratulations on the software design degree..that's a good accomplishment in itself.

 

Id say go for it Sythe, your obviously a very smart guy, and this could be good for you. Where abouts in Australia and you looking to get this? Plus, if you do this, paying 8k a year will be nothing. Compared to what you will be earning, but dont leave us.

 

If it's your passion then go for it.

 

There are many many many software designers in today's economy, there are also many lawyers but if you believe in yourself, then I would recommend entering for the degree as a lawyer. This would overall be the best effect on your future and the choice to enter will be best for your overall future.

 

If the price isn't an inconvenience to you I'd 100% say go for it. Who knows, even if you don't use it in the near future it could come in hand later down the line.

 

If you want it, go for it. In the future law school will probably be a better career choice if your in it for the money. but by all means its up to you.

 

You live in Australia? Go for the law degree in my opinion. Where will you be studying it at? A college or a University here? Because all universitys have their pros and con's. But imo, id rather a career in law then something related to software.

 

grave dig like a motherfucker

 

Jesus christ, 34k for law school? THAT'S IT?? Damn man, do it! I'm working into getting into law school (going for B/A in economics, minor in Political science) then applying for law school, which I'm not even promised a spot in. I'll be far over my head in debt >_< If I were in your position I'd do it man.

 

Don't gravedig please.
