Warning! Jobs in the field of Law are drying up FAST!!! This is NOT a good field to invest in!!! Many reasons. Main reason? We simply have WAY TOO MANY legal professionals - we have a GLUT. "Legal Professionals" includes, but is not limited to: Attorneys/Lawyers, Paralegals, Legal Assistants, Legal Secretaries, Court Reporters, etc, etc.

The law schools know this, but they continue to churn out more and more law graduates even though they know the economy is SATURATED. So......even IF you finish law school, you probably won't be able to find a job when you are done.

Suggestion: Consider the field of Healthcare! <<< LOTS of jobs there! and scholarships! The field of Healthcare is HOT! Plus you could still get involved with computers/typing (Medical Assistant).

Good luck.
