I think you're deciding between a once in a lifetime experience/opportunity and Law school which will always be there. If I were in your shoes, I think the choice would be pretty easy (assuming you have a love for your project).
@BruiserWoods Heck yeah you are...kidding haha. I'm not too big on duct taped shoes so I'm calling this a necessary purchase. The Inovs are great for running, I have a pair, love them!
Suit up. Match one of the colors of the tie to your eyes and be sure to vary the pattern size between the shirt and tie. Shoes must match belt. Be sure to train how you fight and wear it for practice tests as well.
