Date: April 8th, 2015 11:32 AM Author: coral beta nibblets This is far from compelling. Nobody forced this girl to go to outrageously expensive schools and then go work for a pittance for a nonprofit. If she had had any sense she would have accepted scholarships at lower ranked schools, and/or chosen to take a job that pays a real salary.
The real victims here are the borderline retards who fall for for-profit college recruiting, enroll in classes that they lack the mental wherewithal to pass, and get loaded up with debt they hardly have any chance in hell of paying off. Of course, those people aren't writing editorials in the Huffington Post because they can hardly write their own names. |

They basically give the bs school-funded "jobs" to the bottom of their class because they can afford to throw a few bucks their way, whereas at low-ranked schools the kids at the bottom (and in the middle, and close to the top) would get nothing. |

Date: April 8th, 2015 12:11 PM Author: Aquamarine therapy Girl probably had the option to go to William and Mary for free. Graduates from that school can still become lawyers all the same.
I just had a family friend pick a law school. Similar background, middle class parents who couldn't contribute. Full ride at top 30 v t14 sticker. He picked the full ride. The info is now out there to make the right decision.
This whole article is based on a false premise, that she had to spend a lot of money to be a lawyer. Nobody feels bad for the person who says they have to drive to work and picks a BMW 5 series over an accord. I don't feel bad for that person and I do not feel bad for her.

The conditions are much worse for everyone and I appreciate those at top schools who are willing to say that they too are struggling. Far too often those with good employment outcomes go out of their way to project an image of success and prestige rather than admit that conditions have gotten worse.

|
Date: April 8th, 2015 12:43 PM Author: Aquamarine therapy Totally agree. People have been projecting a false image of the profession for quite some time.
The problem is when lay people ask you about the law and say how much they admire you and how proud they are of how great you are doing. You have two choices: tell them the truth or continue perpetuating the myth.
Telling the truth makes you look like a whiny bitch with a silver spoon and no perspective. I have noticed in recent years as everyone knows a family friend from say UCLA law who cant find a job as a lawyer, people are more welcoming of the true narrative coming out. |

She is a pageant queen who has probably been given everything. This is the typical entitled hot chick mentality, they are shocked when the world doesn't just hand them something on a silver platter.
