Now that I'm a lawyer, girls ask me out
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 12th, 2012 9:05 PM Author: Exciting Silver Public Bath For all the trashing of lawyer prestige, I've been asked out three times in like 4 months as a lawyer, and that happened maybe once in my life before. Girls still see lawyers as being very respectable/affluent, rightly or wrongly. Unless it's just the difference between being a student and having ANY job, which I admit I can't speak to.

Date: February 12th, 2012 9:07 PM Author: hairless set nowag Elaborate. How old are you and how much do you make?
Do they have any idea of what you make? They might assume you're pulling 160+k and run for cover once they realize you're making a fraction of that. |
|
Date: February 12th, 2012 9:21 PM Author: Exciting Silver Public Bath 25, make 160+K. They were 20, 26, and 24.
I'd guess they don't have too good an idea (none are likely to be familiar with Biglaw), but probably imagine it's respectable - all they knew was that I'm a lawyer and "what kind of law." |
|
Date: February 12th, 2012 9:23 PM Author: hairless set nowag Reasonable enough. Yes, most girls know that "big law firm" or "corporate law" means money. It's not about the prestige of lawyers though. You wouldn't be getting those dates as a public defender. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1872506&forum_id=2#19953136) |

Date: February 12th, 2012 9:45 PM Author: khaki jewess box office Fag, this happened to me too. As soon as I got out of LS and starting practicing I felt like it was 100 times easier to meet chicks.
I'd get tons of numbers, bitches would always pick up or return my calls. I almost never got rejected for dates if I asked.
I had lots of easy lays, make out sessions. Bitches trying to set me up with their friends. Sometimes I'd meet bitches from other cities and then fly them into my town for weekend sex sessions.
It was crazy, before I NEVER had shit like this happen.
And the funny thing is that I think a lot of bitches think ALL lawyers are money. Most would just ask what I do and never ask details about where I work. I was in BIGLAW but I mean I could have been doing contract work or working for shitlaw. Bitches are gold diggers, but fucking stupid about it. |

Actually, it used to be a big deal that you were a lawyer. Now, past few decades, ABA fucked up and nowadays anyone and his brother can become a 'lawyer', after paying 200k. |

what we ought to do is: 1. demand that no new law schools be accredited. 2. shut down a percentage of existing law schools/strip their accreditation 3. place more barriers to entry 4. reserve JD only for accredited law schools in the upper tier. give a diff degree name for lower/non accredited schools. |

Date: February 13th, 2012 6:12 AM Author: Magenta therapy locus Yes. I wish a group of lawyers and some organizations will rise up and sue the fuck out of ABA for tainting and fucking over our profession this badly.
The thing is, the leadership at ABA is led by a group of academics from law schools, and many times they come from low-ranked law schools. Since law schools are big money makers to universities as well as people in academia, it is to their advantage to keep opening shit law schools, as well as maintaining existing shit law schools, after screwing over many young people with fuck ton of debt.
This is truly criminal, and ABA has only their selfish interests, not the interests of collective people in the profession, in their mind.
In many other countries, lawyers are almost equal to doctors. In U.S., you can be a fucking retard and get into several law schools. Also, it's fucked up to think how noticeable amounts of people even from T-14 who end up unemployed or at doc review.
Clearly, there are many issues to be fixed, and there is no excuse. However, I am not too optimistic that anything will be done to fix these issues. |
|
Date: February 13th, 2012 6:25 AM Author: avocado nighttime trump supporter hall Agreed with everything you say.
The worst fucking part of it all, is that we really ought to model the way shit is done with doctors. The lack of barriers to entry is just appalling. Worse part is that medical school tuition is = to law school tuition. Yet, medical school's operate labs+far more equipment. Only tools that law schools needs are a lecture hall+books+paper. It fucking makes me rage.
I wouldn't mind picketing in front of the ABA for a week. |
|
Date: February 13th, 2012 10:39 AM Author: fishy hairraiser garrison famous landscape painting Our tuition subsidizes their education. Medical students are expensive as fuck. I have a bro in med school, so I don't feel too pissed about the situation, but it is silly, when they're coming out of residency with 300k guaranteed salary.

Date: February 13th, 2012 8:30 AM Author: Unholy big station d00ds this is true - just think about how many 25 year old men don't have their fucking act together at all. Not knocking that - it's a fun life - but that's the comparison. Chick is thinking oh man, he's a doctor, he's a lawyer, whatever, he's got his shit together and is probably pretty smart. My parents would be proud and my girlfriends jealous. We knock the profession on this bort a lot - justifiably - but among the layest of lay people (though still college educated even - think average state u/ mediocre college) - many of the d00ds are doing nothing special or have been languishing in unemployment or working shit jobs for a while. If you have an attny gig, even in shitlaw, that can easily become part of an attractive package. Obviously not going to be a universal feeling, but I bet most women would see it as a plus at minimum.
Nothing that would overcome being ugly or aspie though. |
