My son the consistent underachiever, how can I explain how he is ruining his life?

<p>This is all you really know about this kid. Yes, the law is a challenging field, and the market right now is terrible, but if it’s all he’s ever wanted to do, let him go for it. Law is a wonderful profession for those with drive and talent. Good grades and ivy diploma help, but are not essential. It’s a people business, not unlike sales, so if he loves it that will come through and impress clients. He should try to intern with a court or law office. Speak to as many practicing lawyers as possible, and keep debt to a minimum (night school is a good bet).</p>
