College students, once again, are stupid.
The type of companies that recruits MBAs at top tier school (even at lower ranked schools, really) WANT WORK EXPERIENCE! Period!

Seems like there's an assumption here that the only thing to do with a law degree is "be a lawyer". Quite a few of my law school classmates just used it as a stepping stone to other things, banking, corporate jobs, startups, consulting, investing, real estate, whatever and have done extremely well. And many of those who actually practice seem to have good side ventures going, where the real cash is.
^excellent advice.

Again, very good advice. I have had personal experience looking for non-lawyer type jobs and one thing I can say for sure is to expect the first part of any interview to be devoted to a lengthy discussion of why you are not practicing no matter how impressive your resume is.

It's far from black and white. Disagree with the idea that if you don't have your future fully mapped out it's a total waste to go to law school. On the business side at least there are many opportunities that open up through law practice, whether it's biglaw or something more local. It's also a great way to get socialized in the business world, assuming you don't come from a background where you have that out of the box.
