My options are

Cornell Law School- I have 5k in debt from undergrad. I will be getting a external scholly for 30k a year. But other then that it'll be loan time. I don't have much interest in BigLaw especially long term as I would love to do criminal law or actually help people. But I also don't want to be scrapping by all my life with 120k+ debt following me. Quite frankly I now I will be probably be near the bottom of the class so BigLaw might not be an option either.

My other option is a 34k job with good benefits(federal) and potential to make 65k after 8-10 years.

Other factors are that I currently live with parents and would like to get out and be independent asap(psycho mommy). I don't like the prospect of 100k+ debt staring me down as major debt scares me. Nevertheless it is hard to say no to an ivy league JD.

An advice, tips, insights would be appreciated, thanks!

LSAT- 158 
GPA- 3.2

George Fox University (small Quaker school in Oregon)
Business Management Major
I'll be graduating fall 2013, and applying for fall 2014

Extracurricular- not much, just some volunteer work and intramural sports lol, I might go overseas this summer and do some stuff this summer though.
Letters of Rec- nothing special, some professors and former businessmen, I might be able to get one from a former CFO of a major tech company as he's the brother of the dean of the Business department at my school, but I'm not going to bank on it.

I am 1/4 Native American and enrolled with a tribe and have documentation to prove it, if that helps at all.

Basically I'm wondering what are my best options? I would prefer somewhere upper midwest, east coast, or southwest, but I am not deadeset on any geographic area. Basically my main concern is getting a decent job when I graduate.

Thanks for any help! Let me know if you need me to clarify anything.
