Date: November 26th, 2015 3:16 PM Author: Heady Hall Double Fault 1. I dont feel like I have the same opportunities i would have if I had a JD. I dont have a large professional network law school or working a firm might provide. my BA and MA are in a specific area of policy/politics that i am beginning to despise and is not particularly lucrative or growing as a field.
2. I dont feel like I have room for career advancement. I had hoped to get involved in lobbying and make more money, develop new skills, but that seems pretty difficult, especially without a JD, ironically.
3. im also a bit of a prestige whore and my resume, while probably lacking in ($) marketable skills, is pretty glowing, so seems like a waste not to pursue something like law school and law, where prestige is actually a big deal, at least at the beginning of a career.
4. 55k might not seem bad, but i live in pretty high COL city and cant save much at all. I've also interviewed for entry level positions in different kinds of fields, but they actually pay less. I have no idea how someone lives in my city making 40k.
I have two alternatives I'm considering instead of law school. a. MBA at a darden/ross/fuqua type school.
b. grinding it out. i already have a MA. so networking, putting in lots of hard work to impress people, applying for tons of jobs every week, going to events, meeting with alum as a way to find a new job. this isn't really my personality, but this bord has led to me believe that this is a better option than LS. |

|
Date: November 26th, 2015 7:19 PM Author: At-the-ready Orchestra Pit Sound Barrier 1. why would a JD be better? if you want the network etc. then go to B school.
2. stfu. you're doing well for you're age.
3. see 1.
4. JD puts you at high risk for fighting over scraps with huge debt. that wouldn't be better than your current situation.
tl;dr: stfu and stop complaining. |

Date: November 26th, 2015 3:01 PM Author: Heady Hall Double Fault seems like the people i know who went to T14, even the shittier T14's, are killing it. and their perspectives are much more bullish on LS than this bord. seems like their network has improved dramatically.
i dont know what to believe to be honest, XO seems like a hive-mind susseptible to groupthink |

Date: November 26th, 2015 3:05 PM Author: Lascivious locus azn the main problem with law seems to be that once you're on the biglaw track, your options are really limited. yes, you will probably make good money the rest of your life. yes, the risks are overblown given that xo is disproportionately represented by the ITE classes, precisely after which this place took a nosedive in relevance to law/ls admissions (so there are comparatively way fewer new people). but if you don't like it, you're kind of stuck unless you get a lucky gig.
compare this to getting an MBA even, where you have options and can switch companies. |
|
Date: November 26th, 2015 3:18 PM Author: well-lubricated antidepressant drug What makes you think you would get biglaw?
If you are still making $55K 4-5 years out of college, I am not confident that LS would have magically turned things around for you. |
|
Date: November 26th, 2015 3:21 PM Author: Heady Hall Double Fault I went to grad school, so i've only been on the job market for about a year. thing is, the grad degree was in something useless, although from a good school. i thought getting the name of the good school on resume would be worth it. it was in getting my current job. without the school name i would be unemployed.
i think i would get biglaw because i killed UG (4.0 GPA). and usually do well in job interviews. |

Date: November 26th, 2015 3:26 PM Author: well-lubricated antidepressant drug taking a useless masters right out of college like a Barnard graduate suggests that you don't have the drive and lack of self respect to remain in biglaw for more than 2 years, so you are probably better off.

In fact the only happy lawyers I know are the ones doing DUI-type shit -- and I know literally hundreds of lawyers. This isn't a lie.
Find an industry you love, get in on the ground floor, get an MBA part-time while you're doing it, and if you're a smart enough person that you could've gotten into a T14 & landed biglaw you'll move up the ranks in a chill and fratty way. |

Date: November 27th, 2015 9:40 AM Author: Tripping dilemma pisswyrm I did the same thing as the OP, didn't go to law school becuase of this board and now regret it. Working in a career that pays OK but makes me miserable because it's a bad fit for my personality and requires me to project an image of myself I'm uncomfortable with.
Knowing myself, I think law would actually be a good career for me. There aren't many careers where introverted, slightly nerdy people get make a good living.
I suspect all of the "don't go to law school crowd" falls into one of two camps:
1) Type A ADHD strivers who actually probably could do well in business / finance and lamet the "pointlessness" of law and the nerdniness of lawyers
OR
2) Grass-is-greener fgts who would never be satisified in any career unless they made $10 million giving oil massages to supermodels, and have zero perspective of just how bad most other careers are. |

Date: November 27th, 2015 10:05 AM Author: Iridescent gunner How do you know you would "get make a good living"? The stories of people saddled with high debt don't give you pause? It seems like it'll be a crapshoot unless you have some kind of "in": HYS, or wealthy family, or a full ride, or living with your parents and going in-state.
It's like a game of musical chairs. If that's a game you want to play with your life, by all means go for it. The law schools would love to have you. |

Date: November 27th, 2015 10:09 AM Author: Tripping dilemma pisswyrm I would not have gone to HYS probably at all and more likely would have gone in-state with the goal of becoming a mid-lawyer in that state. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3054740&forum_id=2#29260872) |
