It is more expensive than medschool, but less expensive than business school.
To be a lawyer you have to finish college, and take a law school for 3 years.

I learned that most medical and business schools are private and expensive. In average, medical school is cheaper than business school.

To get into medical school, you need to have finished College (4 years), and study pre-med. You apply to medical school (4 years), then you do a residency (medical training and practice that lasts 3 years). Later, if you want to become a more specific doctor, it is another 3 years or 4, depending on what you want specialize in (cardiology, pediatrics) However, you get paid through your residency and special training.

Next time, I'll look up law schools.

http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-business-schools/mba-rankings told me all the above.

To get to business school, you need to have finished  a major in College (4 years), and it lasts 2 years. It is recommended that you get 1 year of experience before applying to business school.

I learned that Grad school is very expensive, but it matters a  lot so you have to pick well. I learned you could graduate college, get 1 year experience in the state where your grad school is, and get in a lot cheaper if it is a public school. I also learned most of the grad schools do not offer lodging!

Next class I will investigate different grad school options and full career options. I will research the Best Medical Schools.
