It could be overrated if you go to university, get tons of debt, get a degree in something you are not interested in, find a job that you have to get because you have a degree in that field and end up just not liking your choices made.
Also it could be overrated if you do all the things above but DONT find any job in your field and have to pay down debt you owe for a pretty piece of paper.
University is necessary for job only because the JD says so.
From the education side, maybe since I didn’t go to an elite university most of my professors were about just spitting out material and not helping us think critically about subjects. Also most of the things learnt in university were not applicable to office work life which required a degree to get the job.
Not saying that it is not necessary because it is needed for higher paying jobs however it’s really overrated because you learn more on the job.
As long as it opens doors for you.
