Mr. Nice! posted:I mean I went to a pretty decent law school and the number of people I know with better grades than me still do not have jobs and if you didn't do well enough on the LSAT to get into a top school, you're likely to be unemployed when you're done. All of your peers are going to be drunk basically the entire time. Every social function will involve everyone getting as drunk as possible. Most of your peers for the rest of your life will have major substance abuse problems, is horribly depressed, and absolutely hates life. Unless you're in biglaw working 100 hour weeks you're not going to get close to sniffing 100k a year for 5+ years after graduation. I'm fine to get into the best school in my state, and a couple decent ones on the west coast. I'm not gonna be getting into a t-14 but that's OK. I'm from New Orleans so substance abuse is in my DNA. Guess I'll see you on the other side, though not in florida because that state suxxxxx

Mr. Nice! posted:Seriously, though, go read this: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3301274&userid=56659 Nothing in there that's too alarming. My bachelors is in history, which was actually selected to make the most of my existing credits to expedite getting to law school. My brother is a public defender in the Bronx and we've discussed alot of the various ins-and-outs of what practicing law can entail. I'd rather start over with an engineering degree than get a masters in history. I find the subject interesting but hardly applicable in a money making sense. Law school is actually the culmination of my post-enlistment plan to the 'T' so its time to loving get hot.

Mr. Nice! posted:Good luck, godspeed, and I hope it works out for you. The odds of any of that happening are 0. My current employability hovers at just about 0, so getting a JD with uncle Sam chipping in for the lion's share seems worthwhile. I have no illusions about getting out and making six figgies, and frankly if I wanted to go for beacoup bucks I'd try to go into business for myself. I've set the table for myself over the past few years, and now its time to sit down and eat my (potentially poo poo) sandwich. Not getting a 175 is a setback, but I don't see it as being that much of a game changer. Time will tell.

That's why I'm pissed, that's why I'm not going to try and sweep it under the rug. Dude if you end up in front of the honor committee just loving roast him. You'll be fine.

Bruce Boxlicker posted:This is totally reasonable advice. Here's the reality though. The one vet rep is a student who can't be bothered to even tell me what paperwork I need to request benefits, let alone provide any real assistance. This sucks because the community college has several dedicated veteran services employees that are very well versed in what they do. The university has degree works so I can clearly see what I need but my advisor (an army patriot missle operator vet, no less) glibly informed me that it's very inaccurate for my degree. I've been trying to schedule a time to sit down with him to go over this for several weeks with no success. Expecting either of these dudes to actually be like "this is what you should do/take" would be like asking a chimp to do calculus. It might be worth pointing out here that this is the bottom of the barrel 4 year school in Oregon. Why am I going here? Because if I took my degree anywhere else it would be considered a terminal associates and I would basically be starting over on the undergrad which isn't something I'm interested in doing. This school and it's magical AB degree seemed too good to be true and I'm starting to suspect that the whole thing is just a bullshit contrivance degree. Well fortunately you have up to a year from your date of enrollment to start your benefits and get backpay. Do you still have any electives required or is it all core classes? If they dont offer what you need it might be time to withdraw before the complete refund date, get in contact with your VA office, and get all of this lined up before the fall starts.

Growing up in New Orleans the culture of the city was pretty tolerant of drunk driving, or atleast driving after having a few drinks. You pretty much always assumed that everyone around you on the road was a danger. My DUI is something I'm pretty ashamed of.

TheQuietWilds posted:The difference is if your life sucks badly enough, enlisting isn't a terrible option. Law school (outside of top tier) is mostly a scam at this point. Eh, it's a tier 1 law school, I know quite a few lawyers already, and its a profession that I want to enter. That Voc Rehab is willing to pick up the bill (31K a year) means I should be in pretty good shape once I get out.The majority of the advice I received was that I shouldn't go into deep debt in pursuit of a law degree, which I won't be. Most of my friends that graduated from law school in the last 5 years all secured pretty decent jobs, granted that was in Louisiana. None of them are starved for work. Things can vary from state to state pretty dramatically with regards to opportunity in the legal field, and I'm currently taking a look at some different federal employment options on the back end. My brother is also a lawyer in NYC and he certainly seems to be enjoying it. Seems to me that a law degree is what you make of it, much more so than most other professional degrees.

App13 posted:Vocrehab is covering law school? Yeah, the stated goal for voc rehab isn't to be a lawyer, it is to get a law degree preferred or required position, so that includes being a mediator and a bunch of other stupid poo poo. They won't pay for me to take the bar, but 50K a year for 3 years is a nice parting gift from the Federal government for my service. Edit: Mr.Nice is just trying to scare off potential competition.

Diarrhea Elemental posted:I know for actual no-poo poo med school it's pretty much Biology BS (or something along those lines) or bust, but I'm wondering if PA programs actually give that much of a poo poo beyond "biology/science degree preferred". I figure it's a lot more of a non-issue given how the PA profession in general is a lot more of an oddity than the straight shot MD or even ADN/BSN/NP kind of paths, but I figure it can't hurt to ask just in case someone has any specific insights. It varies from program to program, often in terms of required courseload (organic chemistry and the like)

It doesn't really hurt that I'm already intimately familiar with most of the Exercise Science coursework via extracurricular hobbies, for what it's worth. I shouldn't need much more for prereqs as it is, A&P2 plus biochem and/or o-chem, maybe genetics, and medical terminology which is probably gonna be hilariously dumb. That sounds like alot of pre-reqs to me but I'm going to law school so that's all I have to say about that.
