I'm so screwed... (getting this off my chest)
#5
RE: I'm so screwed... (getting this off my chest)
Are there any alternative uses for (what I'm assuming are pre-law?) classes?  I would take this opportunity to quickly research mildly related fields, and see if you can make a lateral move.  You probably have all the prerequisites down.  For example, there are all sorts of information technology and computer specializations that would draw on legal knowledge.  You must be good at research.  It's not hopeless, particularly not if you find a growing field that seems interesting to you.  Then you could present your alternatives to your family as a career that is growing, and holds more interest for you than law.  Describe your fears about getting hired as a lawyer, play up your interest in this other career path, and a lateral move could even help explain the need for more classes.

I have two Masters Degrees and a Doctorate.  Not one of my four college degrees has ever helped me get a decent job. In fact, having the Doctorate means that most people won't hire me, not even to stock the shelves at a store.  It's very important to get a degree that will help you find employment.
