Date: March 19th, 2016 11:16 AM Author: Stirring wagecucks I'd tell them to try and do something else for 2 years. If they like it and/or are making more than 70k with room for more pay, then they shouldn't go to law school.
If they hate it and they aren't making 70k and they can get into a T14, then they should go to law school (taking out government loans only). From there they can either choose a public service poor life or make $$$ in big law.
I mean law sucks and law school's tuition is a fucking criminal act - and I do mean criminal. But there aren't a lot of other opportunities to go from making $40k to making $160k a few years later. My hours are by no means terrible and I make literally 10x what I was before I started law school. |

Date: July 25th, 2016 10:32 PM Author: honey-headed zombie-like pit 1. K->JD should be banned. Straight up.
2. Work. Get experience. Might lead to alternative paths. Or open eyes about law.
3. Seriously consider PT options to keep debt down.
4. You need to seriously do your HW and have a path, dont just go to some lower T14 and say BIGLAW and be a V100 litigator and killself.
They never want to do anything. They just want to be in school and to be PRESTIGIOUS oooo im in law school! |
