I think you're better off being an 'Agniveer'.
An ex-agniveer will have upto 15-20 lakhs, depending on how much is saved. Most graduates from law school end up with a loan and they can hardly work in litigation.
With a corpus of 15-20 lakhs, they can not only fund their own education but also survive the initial few years of difficulties.
There's nothing to be disliked about agniveer.
The regular Army Jawan is academically as competent as a typical below average law student (not including about NLU or some rich mans private universities)
Officers are a class apart, and are not a part of Agneepath scheme. An average Army officer is more talented than an NLU graduate. He is also rich from wealthy families.
The initial 4 years of being an Agneever is awesome. Training is difficult, but Work and life balance and pay is better.
But after that?
You are in trouble.
At the age of 28 you don't have any skills for regular. Your army work ethic doesn't work in the private sector.
Of course - you would have a financial cushion of 10 L + some savings. But transition into private sector will be difficult.
From a salary of Rs. 40'000, you will have to do security guard or manual job which pays less than 15'000.
Generally Army Jawans retire after 14 to 20 years - they have multiple benefits including a small pension. An average jawan who retired at 40 has a better life than the agniveer who retired at 27.
Below average law student in a seniors chamber?
Initial salary will be 2000 to 3000 Rs per month.
But over 4 years - this can increase upto 30'000 Rs. Over the years - salary stays same or even goes upto 50'000 Rs per month (if they are talented) even ugly idiot lawyers after 5 years make 20000.
An Agniveers life is easy in the initial 4 years. But a below average lawyers life is better in the long run.
I studied in a Government Law College in south. Comparisons are supposed to be illustrative rather than to make a debate over that.
By the age of 23 you will be 25 lakh better off compared to a law graduate. :)
