Legal education is not so expensive because if you were in the US of A you would be saddled with a debt burden of $150,000.00 before you got your first job. You would have this debt for the next ten years plus interest rates. This is modern slavery as it is sometimes euphemistically called.
If you got in at an AM LAW 100 or 200 you are looking forward to the CRAVATH system. Eight full yours of the HUNGER GAMES or the IGOGE (think ruthless work at all times of the day) with the aim of proving whether you are worthy of the Partnership on offer.
It is an up or out strategy, a winner take all world where if you win it is great and if you do not, you are out.
It gets better. There is a slight possibility that your partnership will not last forever and the juicy prize of the bonus and partner perks and huge salaries will be withdrawn when the market calls for your firm's head but as a consolation there is risk everywhere.
All the above are mere facts, not good or bad and truth be told many local lawyers would love to do this here.
