Does anyone want to get a JD but not actually practice law/ be a lawyer? This isn't my story (I want to be a lawyer) but I am curious to learn about people who actually want a JD but don't intend to use it in the traditional sense. What the heck are you thinking?

Nonetheless, when you get out of law school, assuming you use your degree well, you start at roughly $100,000/year while going the other route would have gotten you one promotion to $50,000/year. Now as the years go by, you catch up and surpass that initial deficit. In addition, if you also use your law degree for non-traditional, business-oriented "side incomes" then you could make a lot more. Granted, you could do that without a law degree, but then again I'm only talking to people who want to go to law school anyway if they're on 7Sage.
