The wife called me at work on Friday to tell me that I got a phone call from the University of San Francisco School of Law. They wanted to offer me admission for the Fall 2004. Initially, I was excited, but then I thought about the cost of tuition...$30000 a year.

I called the Dean of admissions and asked about scholarships. He let me know that I wouldn't be getting any the first year, but with some luck and lots of work, I could get some for years 2L and 3L. Is it worth it? Should I take the plunge and burden my wife and I with all this debt. Fuck, what a gamble.
