man why dont you just take a loan like everybody else. nobody saves up for law school. i imagine its almost sure it will pay off. its not like getting a master in fine arts lol. also standarized test classes are for bitches

i will go to grad school for sho but i dont know what yet.. something hard science related tho

I will take out a loan, it's just that I don't want to take out a huge one. I'm also weighing other options like getting joining the peace corps and getting masters in environmental policy through a masters international program before I make a commitment to law.

also the LSAT is something you want to take a class for because you can't just take it again if you fuck up the first time, that first score sticks with you.

hey dietcoke what kind of environmental science do you have? We got environmentalists who ride on the ship and make lots of money making sure we don't drop plastic bottles in the water.

It's tough to get a job now, so it's the best time to be in school. If you aim for a PhD, your schooling is FREE and you get PAID $20,000 a year for living expenses (I don't know if this applies for Computer Science, but definitely for medical academic research).

I say if you are pretty sure you love this and want to do it until your old and gray, then you should become an expert on it. you'll have a better knowledge base than someone that has been working for two years and have a BS. I'm in grad school now. Though it's for school psychology. Little different story, but if you enjoy it that much, I say go for it. And it's not like you have to do this for the rest of your life, say if you grow tired of it. There will always be options for you later in life.

if you've got the money and enjoy studying the subject, i say go for it. i don't see how it could close any particularly valuable doors for you, and it's something you'll always be proud of.

yeah. Think civil engineering but with things like dams/drainage/pollution management. It's interesting, but it's still engineering work which is boring as hell IMO.
