it's comments like these that makes me have second thought, and i don't blame you because i'm a very realistic person. and realistic people don't succeed or fail in life, they seem to live a mediocre life and settle with what they have. i'm not steering off on my goals just because of these few comments. it's these comments that raises another problem for me to solve, a question for me to answer. i have been through many decisions in my life and know that every time i start something fresh, there'll always be a set back but in the end i always succeed better than anyone else by quickly learning from my mistakes.
selling my car is not an option because my car is my wheels to get my shit done. without it, i feel discouraged and unmotivated.

1) I dont know why people are failing dachinesedude -> he makes a good point. One course a semester of high school courses is a joke. High school is EASY. Pick up a copy of an LSAT prep book and see what kind of scores you get.
Canadian Law School Profiles - McGill, UBC, UofA, UofT, UVic, York,
Take a look at the average GPAs for these schools. Take a look at the LSAT scores. Compare that to your practice LSAT scores.
2) The law industry has a GLUT of lawyers now. It's very hard to get an articling job. I can't find the stats now, but UBC for example has placement of something like 70% which is abysmal.
3) Law isn't about arguing and proving a point. You need to do more research on the industry before you get in.
Law is about research and attention to detail. It's about going through stacks upon stacks of old cases and precedents. It's about knowing the LAW.
tl;dr: From what you've presented, law is not for you. Do more research.
