Should I cop Harvard in the next two years? I have the numbers to squeak in these days (173/3.76 GPA), and if not I can get Columbia or a big scholly in lower T14. |

Date: April 17th, 2014 12:15 PM Author: Abnormal alcoholic community account location Hard to say, but a lot of cooler jobs (editorial role, bigger papers) open up once you have a few years experience. I'm in DC right now so assuming I don't flame out I'd probably become a writer on a specific policy area or political topic rather than the low-ranking generalist I am now.

Date: April 17th, 2014 12:16 PM Author: Abnormal alcoholic community account location What I've gathered from XO is that nobody actually wants to be a lawyer after they've done it for two years.
My life experience has suggested to me that I have a pretty strong tolerance for almost any sort of work that pays, and on the plus side a lot of my current job literally does involve checking commas and spelling. |

Date: April 17th, 2014 12:10 PM Author: Bright Talented Prole Center The end of the scam won't happen until at least 100-130 of the ABA schools are shut down, enrollment is capped to be consistent with market demand, it becomes a two year degree instead of three, and the federal government caps educational loans for law school at $60K so that tuition is forced to be lowered. Etc, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2545451&forum_id=2#25398119) |

Date: April 17th, 2014 12:14 PM Author: Dull heaven Not sure how that would force tuition to be lowered. Instead we'll have rich getting richer ... right?
I'm also very naive and uninformed about markets so please correct me where I'm wrong. (I'm being serious.) |

Date: April 17th, 2014 12:21 PM Author: Bright Talented Prole Center 90%+ of law school students take out loans because even well-off families can't afford to throw down $150-250K on their kids' grad school. Because the government doesn't cap loans, law schools can basically charge whatever they want and still get paid. That's why educational loans need to be capped...law schools need to be brought back to earth (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2545451&forum_id=2#25398179) |
