Host, that's my risk, isn't it? If I end up falling flat on my face, then I will have no one to blame but myself for not having the foresight to see the oncoming train wreck. And I'll deal with it when/if that happens. But let me give you a hint: knowing more than one area of law helps cushion blows like that, and practicing in a firm that has expertise in helping clients through both good times and bad also helps.
But you're right, there is risk. Big risk. And I could possibly fail, quite badly, and the govt won't bail me out. That's why I'm also entitled to the upside.
Roachboy, the fact that I took debt on to go to law school is a datum, but it's not the fulcrum of my argument. The fact that I'm a free man and can't be required to give my work away on terms I don't agree to is the fulcrum. You may have heard of the Thirteenth Amendment, which prohibits involuntary servitude.
