JohnnyTreachery posted:Saving that first paragraph for when I get asked "is that JD good for anything as a junior dev" I wrote a memo for my manager explaining why a work request we received could be rejected because there was no legislative/statutory basis for our program to include that functionality. We're implementing it anyway.

Look Sir Droids posted:Same here. It's like $75 a year instead of $170. I assume inactive status exempts you from the $400 professional tax too, but I'm not sure. $85 in TN. I don't pay the professional tax either, but I think that happened when I left the state. I'm not sure why I pay it every year. I do like filling out the CLE exemption form every year, though. If any of the would-be law students need something to chew on, my employment prospects increased substantially when I got an AS in CompSci after graduating law school and passing the bar. Skip law school. Go to community college instead.

Arcturas posted:My wife is still angry that I finished all the sections early. I was just mad that i had to sit in those stupid lovely auditorium chairs and stare at the ceiling for two hours each day. Plus it was cold! And you couldn't even go to the bathroom and rub one out in a bathroom stall because they had "restroom monitors" who listened at the door of the bathrooms to make sure you're not cheating in there. We were allowed to leave if you finished sufficiently early. I rushed one of my morning essays to make sure that I got out and got a long lunch. Still passed.

I did doc review with a guy who wanted to be a video game lawyer. As near as I could tell (I never pushed for details), his plan was to bill companies while he played Second Life and sent in-game C&D letters to trademark violators.

MayakovskyMarmite posted:I only occasionally read this thread and have skimmed the last couple pages. That said, I feel like people in this thread poo poo on prospective law students a little too much. Can we at least be semi-nice to people who have already committed to law school or are competent? I totally agree that most people shouldn't go, but there is a thin line between helpful and abusive. I wish somebody had abused me out of going to law school. I'd be much better off financially if they had.

Go to a community college, earn 24 hours of computer science credits, get a government IT job. Enjoy doing literally nothing. I just wish I had made that plan before law school rather than after.

mastershakeman posted:Think it's better doing that than brushing up on CS and getting into Georgia tech's online master's that's only 7 grand? It took me a year and a half and cost roughly $3,500 to get my AS. That online masters is dirt cheap, and if it's meant to be a 2-year program, is basically a no-brainer. Definitely worth it. In fact, I might look into it. I already have an AS, BA and JD. An MS would complete the set.

Toona the Cat posted:My study partner. I already told my wife everything when I was hammered the other day. I think she was upset but somewhat sympathetic because...well, our relationship started when I was married to my first wife. Toona, she may have appeared sympathetic, but I can tell you exactly what was going through her mind. "gently caress, gently caress gently caress. I got together with this loving loser while he was still married, and now he's going to leave me for some other woman. This little fucker has a pattern, and now I'm stuck in the middle of it." I'm completely serious here. You had better be a perfect husband from here on out, and step one should be to completely sever yourself from the study group girl.

SlyFrog posted:Thank you for this. I know (theoretically and rationally) that I have a skillset, but it just does not "feel" that way. I think it comes from not having been passionate or interested in the work for so long, that it creates this vicious loop. You feel disinterested, and like you're having a hard time putting in a lot of effort (or perhaps that everything you do takes a lot of effort). You know that rationally (because you see the work you do versus the other people who are really into the job), so you feel like your skillset is falling behind the people who are actually interested and really working at it. Government work sounds right up your alley. Nobody is passionate, and everyone gets paid the same.
