Is the 'very tiny chance' worth never being able to get a mortgage or a car loan or a business loan?

Maybe not to you, but to some, yes, it really is. And I think you keep assuming things about the OP; we don't know if they've done the research or even their family income, maybe they can afford their law school debts perfectly fine. Maybe they have knowledge of what being a lawyer will be like. Maybe all they got was from Ace Attorney. Who cares? You never get true experience from a job until you end up actually doing it. If this is what OP (currently) wants then it's their choice and if they end up regretting it, then that's down to them. But they need to learn that themselves, after trying. Because no matter what evidence you may give, there ARE lawyers in the world, there always will be. Someone will always get that job. That could be OP, but if they never try then they'll never know. Not everyone should be office workers for their whole lives simply to pay their bills.

I have a feeling we're never going to agree, but I feel very strongly on the fact that no one should tell another person what to do with their life. Offering advice is fine, but you live your life how you want and let them live theirs. I don't know if this is what OP truly wants to do - nor if they really know much about it - any more than you do, but if they ARE sure and they're really working hard for it, then I say more power to them and I wish them the best of luck. Call me an optimist, but I think it's far better than just getting a "safe" job and never gunning for it.

Maybe it's just me, but I think [personal profile] thene was doing exactly that: offering advice. I don't think they were trying to tell OP to do or not do anything - just strongly encouraging caution, which in this case I think is very wise. I hope OP reads this and does their research. Maybe being a lawyer is in the cards for them - but I agree it isn't something they should just rush into and that's why some people on this thread are counseling them to be careful, research the stats and tread with caution.
