On the 3rd, a post titled "I'm struggling because my daughter wants to quit law school" was uploaded on an online community. The author, Mr. A, began by saying, "My daughter suddenly said she wants to stop attending law school, and I'm worried."

Mr. A said, "I have memories of failing the civil service exam after studying for five years in the past, so I wanted my daughter to become a professional, and I made her study hard," adding, "Despite our poor situation, I invested all my money in her education and allowance." He continued, "She was a child who did well as long as I supported her during high school and college, but suddenly, I don't understand why this is happening, and I feel complicated," and asked for advice, saying, "At home, she cries and screams, saying, 'I lost my independent life living as my mom's pride.' Should I let her quit law school?"

In the message screenshots attached to the post, the daughter complained, "Mom, I'm so tired," and said, "Since high school, I spent half of my day sitting at my desk, so I had no joy, and I was pushed into law school, but being a lawyer doesn't suit my aptitude." She also added, "I want to earn money like my friends. I hope you trust me. I also worked hard to maintain my grades."

Most netizens who read the story criticized Mr. A. Comments included, "It's ridiculous to force your child to fulfill a dream you couldn't achieve due to your own lack of ability," "If being a lawyer is such a dream, you can enter law school and become a lawyer yourself now," "The daughter is making a last desperate attempt. You shouldn't push her anymore," "This is not the child's desired future but the unfulfilled ambition of the mother," and "Wake up before your daughter gets a bad mindset. It's better to help her live the life she wants."

Meanwhile, the Law School Admission Test (LEET) held in July last year saw 15,642 applicants, marking the largest number ever. This is 1.6 times more than the 9,690 applicants for the first LEET in 2009. Accordingly, the number of dropouts aiming to enter top law schools also reached a record high of 236.
