Why do 60% of practicing attorneys feel dissatisfied with their careers?

If you are considering law school, it's critical that you know the answer.

Law school is a great decision for many people. But there's a reason the American Bar Association Journal reports that only 35% of attorneys who have practiced law for 6 to 9 years would recommend a legal career to a young person. And it's important that you know the reason.

An esteemed profession, but how do you know it's right for you?

Going to law school and becoming a lawyer is an incredible experience. But it's not for everyone. You probably find yourself asking questions like:

If you sit down and list all of the uncertainties, it looks daunting. There's lots of potential risk and reward, but how do you sort it all out?

If there were a way to feel completely confident about your decision to go to law school, would you want to know about it?

Simply put, consider the following:

If you find it easy to say "yes" to the above questions, it's time to understand how.

Should I Go to Law School?In Should I Go to Law School? The $100,000 Gamble, I focus on how to feel confident that your law school experience will be a rewarding experience on all counts. And, if law school isn't right for you, I help guide you to an answer that makes sense for you.

I created this resource for you because so few people stop and think about the weight of the law school decision. On the one hand, law school is fraught with debt, hard work and an uncertain future. On the other hand, law school is an amazing and daring adventure. Two sides of the same coin — but how do you know which side lands face up for you?

That is what's unique about The $100,000 Gamble. You can find literally hundreds of books out there that tell you what the LSAT is and how to study for it. But nowhere else will you find the guidance you need to make a lucid and confident decision about law school.

Almost everyone wants to feel good, be successful and make great decisions, but the question is how?

That's exactly what I wanted when I started at Stanford Law School. And it's what I've heard from so many law students since then. Make no mistake, graduating from Stanford filled me with pride and is something I'll never regret. But, to be perfectly honest with you, I don't think it clarified much for me in terms of how to live a truly fulfilling and financially-rewarding life.

What I share with you in The $100,000 Gamble is the roadmap I've found to help guide you in life's big decisions.

Think about it: Did anyone teach you growing up how to decide whether a $100,000 investment in law school is a good idea? And I'm not talking just about a financial investment, I'm talking about an investment of your time, your career path and your life's energies. For most of us, the answer is "no." And yet, every day, law schools ask prospective students to make the same decision.

In The $100,000 Gamble, you'll learn:

What I'm providing in the The $100,000 Gamble is a framework for making good decisions. And I'm not the only one who thinks this is critical.

As I've shared this project with lawyers and career coaches, they've wanted to add their voices to the mix. Their enthusiasm is what inspired me to include nearly three hours of invaluable interviews as part of The $100,000 Gamble. You'll hear from attorneys telling you about the lived experience of practicing law. They talk about their day-to-day lives, their interactions with clients and where they find the juice in being an attorney.

Practicing Law

I also talk to career coaches who provide invaluable advice about law school, choosing a career and living a life in alignment with your strengths. These coaches don't tell you what to do with your life; nor do they try to fill your head with fluffy ideas. They present real-life lessons learned from hundreds of clients in circumstances very much like yours.

Your Future, Your Decision

I sought out the best and brightest attorneys and coaches wherever I could find them — in their offices, on the phone and in corporate conference rooms. The result is a wealth of informative, thought-provoking and often inspiring recordings.

Here is just a small sampling of what you'll learn:

Your decision about law school will change your life forever.

It's a grand statement, but it's true: whether or not you go to law school will shape your personal and financial life for years to come. You could be happy and successful as an attorney; or you could be miserable, burned out and overwhelmed by debt.

And guess what:

This is such an important decision, you owe it to yourself to think it through.

I'm not asking you to wring your hands and endlessly deliberate about your law school decision. Some people will get clear on their decision remarkably fast.
