Episode notes

This chapter provides a comprehensive exploration of the diverse career paths available to attorneys, covering educational requirements, income differentials between big law firms and smaller practices, and the complexities of managing student loan debt in the legal profession. It discusses the factors influencing entry into prestigious law firms, the significance of law school reputation on initial job prospects, and the challenges faced by law school graduates in securing permanent positions. Additionally, it contrasts the financial implications of student loans for lawyers versus physicians, highlighting the unique considerations for loan forgiveness and repayment in the legal field.

Today we are having our first ever full episode focused on lawyers. Our friend and lawyer, Chris Avery, joins Dr. Dahle to discuss education costs and processes for legal professionals, when and why what school you go to matters, what bimodal pay is and what it has to do with lawyers, what lawyers typically make, if there really is a difference with lawyer vs. doctor finance and so much more.
