Yeah, well that's why I went in state to Ohio State Law rather than Michigan, NYU, or Columbia. I escaped with about $35,000 in debt, now $25,000. It should disappear pretty quick when I start working at the firm. I got a better education at OSU Law than I would have at a hot shot school, too. Their people are just as good, if less famous, and they actually care passionately about teaching. If you get a big firm job starting at $125K, and you are single, you can probbaly make $100K or so of law firm debt go away in a few years.
