Can Confirm. I talked my brother in law (who is extremely intelligent) to go to a worse law school than he was originally accepted in because they were willing to pay for his education. He is very happy he made that decision as he doesn't have to scramble to pay bills or work 80+ hours a week to make a 6 figure salary just to pay off those bills. Instead he makes 75k in a modest cost to living area and has 0 debt.

The thing is, you can get biglaw money with no debt just by learning to code.
