Why the hell would anybody go to law school these days?

Jason · Only in cartoons

That's a good question. I'll postpone my answer for when I get my first semester grades.

john31584 · Zinc Saucier

I'll say this: if you don't get good enough grades your first semester to get BigLaw at 2L OCI, drop out. That basically means top 10-15% if you're at a T14 school, and top 5% or better if you're anywhere else.

Not that you'd necessarily want to work at a big firm. But these days, you need big firm qualifications to get ANY type of law job.

Oh, and no matter what the people at your school's office of career services tell you, a law degree does not open any doors outside the legal field. In fact, non-legal employers who see the JD on the resume tend to look upon it with suspicion. They'll think you're overqualified and will bolt as soon as you can find a law job, or that you couldn't hack it as a lawyer. They don't consider the fact that this profession is not for everybody (not for most people, really), and most people who get into it are desperate for a way out after a few years.

What are your plans for LA?

The plan is such: I can probably find a job in any major city, and Jacqueline likes warm weather. One of her friends lives in LA.

Awkward Smile · Inconsiderate Hardcore Lesbian

So, do you always say her name like that? No nicknames?

Awkward Smile · Inconsiderate Hardcore Lesbian

Also, have you guys ever been to LA?

MorisUkunRasik · World's Strongest Millionaire

Serious time.

I've heard nothing but horror stories involving going to law school. The other board I go to has a community of guys who went to law school and consider it to be the biggest mistake of their lives. There's crazy amounts of lawyers, few positions and insane amounts of debt.

What happened to teaching, I thought you wanted to teach philosophy or some such thing.

She's going in the spring for a wedding. I've been, and I wasn't particularly fond of it. But I think I've gotten to a point where I could learn to like any city.
