Law School or a PhD?

He went to law school. Judging by this post from another thread, he regretted it:

Are you in the US? The job market for lawyers will be fractionally better when you graduate than it was for me, but I wouldn’t go to law school under any circumstances unless you have: (1) a guaranteed job, or (2) a full scholarship to a top 25 school.

I had (1), so I was able to go to a cheap school, but the vast majority of my classmates are struggling. We took the July 2014 bar exam, so we were all admitted by September of last year, and some have already given up looking for license-required jobs.
