Q: Attorney Tully, I read that paralegals on average are now making more money than first-year lawyers. Is it still worth it to get a law degree?

A: It’s a fair question. If your main reason to go to law school is to make a lot of money then the answer is no. You could get a job right out of college and save up your money and be pretty rich. But in what other profession can you go to any court in Pennsylvania and represent someone accused of a crime?
Call me naive but I think it’s still worth it. Bernie
