I wonder how big of a problem it would be if I told my family that I hate law school and want to drop out.
I told my family that.
They said, just finish it. I was like...ok, fine. Since I've already invested like 60-70k I might as well spend the last 30-40k and get a degree to show for it. And failing midterms is pretty normal. Just figure out what you did wrong and fix it for finals.
I dunno if I "hate" law. But it's an overcrowded field & an uninteresting life. Definitely not the super fun job of your dreams or anything unless you are doing criminal law and feel strongly on either side. I'd much rather be doing something awesome for money, but everything I enjoy doing and make money from I make like $8 an hour and I can't buy a family with that.
Don't drop out. Skip all your classes and just show up for exams. Works for me.
I want to go to your law school. Here they're required to take roll by the ABA and if you miss more than 20% of the classes (5 classes for a twice a week class, 2 classes for a once a week class) you get failed from the class. I've had and have several classes where I would only show up to sign the stupid roll sheet. :\ Waste of time and the boredom makes me hate life.
