People who go to law school are some of the most driven, hard working people, but often end up struggling the most financially. Attorneys go through a crazy journey—years of intense study, grueling exams, and relentless hours—only to enter a field where financial stability isn’t always guaranteed. The financial aspect of law can be overwhelming, whether it’s managing student debt, setting up a firm, or handling the unpredictable income of legal practice.
