Date: July 25th, 2012 11:29 PM Author: Startling school yarmulke Assume very good grades from HYPS undergrad but in a non-STEM major (and not Econ). Rising senior. I know the answer is "don't go to law school," but assume I've thought this through extensively and do eventually want to go. (So I won't be trying to get a long-term gig at one of these places, have no interest in b school, etc.) Those who went to law school - which of these jobs would you most enjoy doing before law school?
-Teach For America -MBB consulting -Fulbright Scholar -Non-tech work at Google/Facebook/Apple (e.g., biz dev or legal assistant work) -Fed gov't low-level work, or working on the Hill -Research assistant at a think tank

Date: July 26th, 2012 12:42 AM Author: Rambunctious market jap 20s are overrated. I think 30 has been king. I've pounded more good-looking pussy this year than I did from 20-25. 30 year old bitches know they're old, so they don't play games, and 20 year old bitches figure you won't play their games. My date to fuck ratio is damn near 1:1.
tl;dr -> have free time and no significant other when you're 30. |

I.e., if you were going to do something else with your career, what would it be, do that so you have a plan B. |

But I've also heard that TFA is pretty competitive. Know a girl who was also HYP, STEM with a ~3.5 GPA, and got dinged. |
