I think the most suprising part of this case is that Pepperdine is graduating crazies cum laude.

One of my friend's sisters graduated from pepperdine and is mostly broke doing work she hates. Mike Leach is also a pepperdine alum but he prefers to get shithoused and scribble football plays on bar napkins.

Pepperdine: we teach you to copy/paste wikipedia into your bar complaint response(s)! (Her sentence about "proverbial phrase used to enourage optimism" is literally copy/pasted. She says she looked it up, but the actual copy/paste is very funny to me. Yet that fact cannot be distilled into a way that makes it funny on delivery like it is in my head, where she's emphatically hitting paste and nodding to herself. So here I am talking about it at length.)

I think the reason so many lawyers dream of computer science careers is the appeal of a job that is essentially sitting in a cave never interacting with humans after the people we have to deal with.

Yes, but it involves math and reading loving line after line of boring code. Basically, the transactional law of the computer world. If only there were something that would pay me for sitting in a cave playing League of Legends all day. (And still being bad at it.)

This is one of the reasons I made the jump to computer science. Also both careers rely on a very similar skill set of being able to break complicated problems down into simple logical parts and then writing a document in an arcane and highly precise language solving that problem. Also computer science is full of so many of the socially stunted and awkward that even the gooniest lawyer has a huge advantage in people skills.

I've thought about trying Dota but then I hear it involves blocking or some poo poo and I get confused and I want cartoony graphics and gently caress it I'm just going to drink and pretend I don't have bench memos to do. And then I end up watching Breaking Bad instead of playing either game, and wishing that I could be Saul.

Really agree with the first paragraph; I've tried to articulate the similarities between law and CS many times and never once came up with anything nearly as good as that. Really disagree with the second paragraph. The worst lawyers I've met are way more aggressively, in-your-face unbearable than the most socially stunted/awkward CS people I've been around (and I have a Bachelors in CS and went to CS grad school for almost 3 semesters).

Going to work on a Saturday is the best: no phone calls, no emails, no questions - no interruptions. Get 8 hours worth of stuff done by 11:30, get ahead of the coming week. Tee time at 1:00, home for 6 hours of guilt-free college football.

The sheer quantity of jobs I see out there that are "Patent attorney wanted [EE/CS or get out]" is making me consider going for a CS bacc. I can parse code and construe a (non-bullshit) software patent but I don't have the magic degree so nobody cares. Although with my luck by the time I sunk another 20k the Alice clusterfuck will have turned the entire field into a wasteland and the hot new thing will be ME or something. (I know there are MS programs out there that are cheaper and geared for non-CS undergrads but I doubt my 2.9 UGPA would bowl them over.)

the milk machine posted:Thankfully they don't block watchespn at work... Since I rant about private practice all the time, let me then admit this is one of the good things. Even in my mid-sized firm, they block nothing on the web (though the fuckers do lock down the computers themselves, such that I cannot install League of Legends). My friends who are in-house at big companies explain how they can't check sports scores, read articles, etc. because so many sites are blocked. I think I would choke someone.

Got a non-legal government job in '10. Started a compsci degree at community college in '11. Got a government java developer position last year. If I had done the cs associates instead of law school I would be substantially better off financially right now. But at least I'm not practicing law.

Friend of mine works in biglaw and was invited to a charity auction event with a few partners. He thought one of the partners was not donating, so he didn't to avoid any showmanship. Turns out the partner did. How does friend recover from failure?
