Five years ago, my wife talked me into going back to school part time. I never imagined I would now be looking at law schools. UGA is in my top 5 and I agree on the cost, especially for grad/law school. If by chance, I do go to UGA, I will have to look you up. I may try to continue in my profession on a part time basis while I am in school and it is always nice to know someone who knows the market.
