Going to law school was literally the worst decision I've ever made in my life.

Hired Gun posted:Welp, got off the waiting list and assigned for the June 7 LSAT. Taking it now (I graduate next spring) to figure out whether I should even consider law school or spend the time lining up other options. I've got a mediocre (3.4) GPA so unless I get a 170+ I'll probably go the latter route. Why do you want to be a lawyer?

I think that law school should have an entrance interview requirement, where you have to explain to the interviewer why you want to be a lawyer, what kind of law you want to practice, what's your plan to go about it etc etc to weed out the stupid people like me who think "well my undergrad is useless, why not law school next". It would save a lot of pain. But no, the only question is "did your financial aid come through?"

Elotana posted:The one thing I could never figure out was how to close a sentence that ended both a quote and a parenthetical. (This is an example of a line like that, where you realize "hey, I don't know what the gently caress to do at the end here."). Related question - what do you do about question marks at the end of a sentence that ends with a quote when the question mark isn't part of the sentence? For example, how do you interpret the meaning of "I can't think of an example sentence to put in quotation marks but you get the point"? Should the ? go inside the quotation? If it goes outside, should something go inside the quotation? Related question to the related question - what do you do when you're quoting a question in the middle of a sentence? For example, some guy just asked me "do you have any spare change?" and I shot him.

Torpor posted:And no, law degree holders are not "highly employable" outside of the law field. I think this thread has ample evidence that a law degree is more of a hindrance than a help when talking about non-legal employment since the prevailing view of society is that a law degree is a golden ticket (so why hire someone who is just going to turn and get a 6 figure job somewhere else right after training). I have sent resumes to starbucks, borders, and chipotle. I have not heard back from any of them. I've also sent resumes to 4 or 5 (non-law related) temp agencies. I have heard back from one of them. They said "sorry, can't help". yeah a law degree doesn't make you employable bro sorry

Ersatz posted:They aren't. Neither is the first, in my opinion. Having a job is better than being unemployed. I guess you could argue that it's slightly dishonest because law schools can point to their fellowships or whatever and say "look at how many of our students are employed after graduation, we're a great school" when in reality they had to create jobs for them because nobody else would hire them on account of having gone to a lovely law school. But having said that, it's still giving graduates work and I don't think there's anything wrong with that

When my school released its employment survey it included the following caveat in the e-mail they sent along with it:quote:While most of the employment data reflects permanent full-time positions, it also includes a fair number of temporary and contract positions that are full or part-time. The ABA and US News require law schools to count any type of employment as "employed" and our placement statistics reflect this reporting requirement. The reality, however, is that as a result of the constricting legal job market, some graduates have taken positions that are interim solutions until the job market eases or are temporary ways to earn an income. This is a challenging year to be a recent law school graduate entering the job market and our office is committed to helping all of you ultimately achieve career satisfaction and success. it sounds like they felt kind of bad about reporting the 96% "employed" statistic

nous_ posted:I just graduated, and I haven't written off applying to law school in a few years. But I'm going to be a unique flower and work for a startup after school. Because it's paying mostly equity, I will need a second job for cash - should I try to work a legal-related job (staff/admin/etc.) in case I apply down the road? Would that even make a difference? As far as LSATs and application/admission to law school goes it makes absolutely no difference whether you work for a start up or get a second job in a law-related field or whatever. Maybe in terms of getting a job as a lawyer or whatever then you might be able to do some networking whilst working in a law-related job which may help later down the road but as far as getting into law school goes it doesn't make a difference. LSAT and GPA are really all that matter. except for northwestern who apparently values experience or something. but you shouldn't go to law school because it's a scam
