Paying $55k, but yes. He won’t starve, but his life will likely be measurably worse than had he skipped law school and been 3 years ahead in his prior career.

One huge issue is that most shitlaw bosses are woefully ill equipped to hire, manage or pay an associate.

college doesn't matter anymore lol

it's not going to help or hurt him getting a job. the jobs you get after college now have pretty much nothing to do with what you "studied" and got your "degree" in in college

I hire people like this for my shitlaw firm. I start them out at about 85k a year with limited benefits.

Some of the stories that I hear from these people about previous employers are crazy. I appear to pay way above market for shitlaw associates. Standard comp seems to be mid five figures. However, that number is really more revenue than profit since it typically covers *everything* including CLE's, bar dues, computer, travel, etc. The least that I have encountered was a chick from a shitlaw firm that was dying, who was making 45k.

I was going to say - these people generally make more like $50-55k starting out. There are effectively unlimited numbers of them.

I try to hire the cream of the crap. People who aren't going anywhere near Biglaw but are basically competent and will appreciate the opportunity that I have to offer. Overall, it has worked out well, although that can always change.

Clerk at local county court, then work in small firm for a couple years to learn the ropes, then hang a shingle. That's a decent enough GPA from a decent enough law school that he could definitely make it.

State government sinecure.

Regional law firm or regional law firm to regional in house.

The path isn't as clear as T6 ls->v25 firm, but there are plenty of decent options and outcomes for someone who works hard and takes advantage of opportunities. In a lot of ways, the paths are better than a V25 associate striving for a few years before getting up or outed. The Akron grad will probably have a lake house in 10 years while the t6 grad will be wondering if he can afford kids.

a ton of these guys end up working (directly or indirectly) for the government. Sometimes some general state law bureaucrat job. prosbro or PD. or, closely related running a shoestring private practice and taking indigent runover cases. city attorney's office or mayoral advisor. part-time traffic court judge in some podunk town. ALJ for civil service claims. an unending panoply of opportunity :)
