Zacher summarizes some recent data on law school tuition and the expected earnings of new law graduates:

• tuition at top private law schools can top $30,000 per year.
• the average educational debt for graduating law school students is $106,000 at private schools and $70,000 at public schools. 
• the median starting salary in 2010 for law school graduates was $63,000.
• According to Jim Chen, dean of the University of Louisville Louis D. Brandeis School of Law, a law school graduate must earn six times the amount of annual tuition he or she paid for school in order to attain a “good” level of financial viability, i.e., private schools grads must earn approximately $180,000 per year. 

Looking at these statistics, Zacher asks readers, “if we were to design a warning for a legal education, what would it say?” Zacher offers two potential warnings:

WARNING: You may not be able to pay these loans back during your lifetime.

-and-

WARNING: Go to law school, and you may wind up bankrupt and still liable for the student loan debt.

I think we need to add some non-financial warnings, too:

WARNING: Go to law school, and a disproportionate number of your friends may be lawyers.

WARNING: Go to law school, and you may someday introduce yourself at parties as a “recovering lawyer.”

WARNING: Go to law school, and you may end up as a legal blogger.

What other warnings should be tacked on to legal education?
