Date: April 13th, 2015 10:58 PM Author: Glassy embarrassed to the bone mother first of all, i think i would have either had to quit or been fired after a short period of time, so its not like it would have been a very sustainable source of income
second of all, if i had indeed 'gotten biglaw,' i wouldnt have had the time to live life and develop new interest/pursuits/skills as I have in fact been able to do
also i cannot function with less than 7-8 hours of sleep, and ideally i need 9
law school was a mistake, but getting biglaw would have been doubling down on an error

Date: April 13th, 2015 11:03 PM Author: Glassy embarrassed to the bone mother some might say we are only thinking this in hindsight, but I think that it is often actually true. and i know biglaw probably isnt actually as bad as the XO caricature, but it sort of is (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2854777&forum_id=2#27686041) |

Date: April 13th, 2015 11:04 PM Author: Arousing Citrine Laser Beams The best thing about not having biglaw is that I'm not afraid of getting fired. Because lol I can work at CVS and make more.
But not caring result in more relaxed, better work product. |

Date: April 13th, 2015 11:05 PM Author: Ruby Feces Black Woman The sting goes away when most of the people from your class year are out of BIGLAW by now anyway and the pay gap has decreased significantly. It's brutal if you are making like $40k and someone you know is making $170k with bonus who sat right next to you in class and you know you were just as smart as them. At that point they have no special skill to justify the pay gap. Later on they do so it stings less. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2854777&forum_id=2#27686051) |

Date: April 13th, 2015 11:10 PM Author: Glassy embarrassed to the bone mother well, the thing is ive long accepted that other people ARE smarter than me in the biglaw-y/prestigy sense. i just stopped caring about comparing myself to other people in ANY way at all, so i don't feel jealousy or envy at all.
and i don't need to. my job is chill and i always get a full night's sleep, and my material needs are more than met |

Date: April 13th, 2015 11:14 PM Author: Glassy embarrassed to the bone mother Well, im not in law at all, so maybe thats one source of the difference. i went to a different pond altogether. it is true i would not like the feeling of being a shitlawyer in the same town or area where i failed to be a biglawyer (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2854777&forum_id=2#27686151) |

Date: April 14th, 2015 9:45 AM Author: Mint Pontificating Bbw Meetinghouse ur 100% correct above - biglaw lasts the blink of an eye for anyone with a personality/soul, and it literally ruins everyone's life who stays in longer than a few years. for some ppl, like me & mainlining, it's literally human trafficking (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2854777&forum_id=2#27688209) |

Date: April 14th, 2015 10:57 AM Author: Glassy embarrassed to the bone mother i am not in law.
you need to re-read my posts. i never said i was glad i went to law school. i regret it, and it was a terrible waste of time. im glad i didn't make my situation WORSE by doing biglaw afterwards and making a bad situation even worse |

Date: April 14th, 2015 10:58 AM Author: Arousing Citrine Laser Beams This. Law was a horrific nightmare and I would do anything to be able to work a career that doesn't require a law degree. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2854777&forum_id=2#27688547) |

Date: April 14th, 2015 11:03 AM Author: gay slap-happy faggotry I work in a job where the JD got me the position even though I do not need a bar admission. They pay me better than an equivalent graduate degree and the JD has been a useful credential on a substantive and perceptual level. I didn't take on debt for the degree so the opportunity cost was my lost income. Was law school worth it? No. There was no graduate degree for someone like me (no STEM option, no M7 MBA, no finance) and almost certainly no career path without a bunch of luck that would get me to 100K+ with benefits and a job that lets me look a man in the eye without being embarrassed.
So in that respect, I am glad I went to law school while still knowing it was not, and rarely is, worth it.
