A t1 job in law is extremely luck based even for top nlus (alot of factors at play: grades, mood of firms, for PPO your timing of joining may coincide with an a0 leaving etc etc).
Do not bank on the thought that if you do everything right you'll get placed. Many less deserving get ppos and avid mooters and toppers are left at the mercy of day zeros to take a team they don't want in a location they don't prefer.
If you can repay the loan even with a t2 t3 job then go ahead (or if dad can help in case you are unable ) But if you're someone who is purely depending on a t1 job for repayment. Then it's not worth it. From any college.
I have myself been in that situation and I came out on top.
Had edu loan, scholarship and COVID to assist in expenses. Have a T1 job rn.
But ik people in similar situations who are jobless.
Do they offer that kind of ROI considering for someone coming from a middle class family who might take a loan for that, all i know is college is good academically and has top class alumni base
