Some people prefer to put off the "real-world" through school, myself included. It can be turbulent, but if you don't work that hard and enjoy learning, it's infinitely preferable to the stagnation of having a job - getting up and doing the same thing every day at the same place. At least with school the atmosphere is dynamic.

But Law School...phegh. I'm with you there. Why anyone would want to put themselves through that soul-grinder is beyond me.
