I know a lot of you have expressed interest in law school, and I said I'll answer any questions any of you have after my finals (post here, PM, IM, even call). A lot of people helped me when I was in your position, so I'd love to return the favor. For all of you with no interest, good choice.
I am sure I will hear crickets after this post, haha.

I absolutely hate school. I got an AS at a CC and never wanted to get more. School is such a chore and I have a lot of respect for anyone that can get a 4 year degree, let alone going extra years.

What is the problem with going Aaron, why do you think people should stay away from it?

90% of people who go to law school either are drug addicts or commit suicide by the time they hit 30.

What is the problem with going Aaron, why do you think people should stay away from it? Most people go just to avoid going into the real world for three years. So when the shock of going to school from 9-5, then studying from 7-2 hits, it really isn't worth it. It's like having two full time jobs. The thing I tell prospective law students, just make sure you have to go to law school in order to fulfill your career goals. I know there are a number of potential agents or people wanting to work in sports on these forums, but you really don't need law school for those careers. The only thing law school gives is the ability to say I have a JD. You can use it to your advantage and it doesn't hurt, but those jobs are strictly about hustling. If you absolutely, unquestionably want to be a lawyer, law school is for you. Almost anything else, it might be a waste of time and definitely money. |

I don't anticipate being talked out of it (right now anyway), so with that thinking, what did you like about it? And what factors do you think are important in a law school (location from home etc)?

He went to Law School for all of us! What a guy! |

I certainly have my eye on law school, but I would indeed accept a solid job offer out of college.

If it's something you absolutely want, then go for it. Despite everything I say, there are a number of people who seem to enjoy it. It's nice to know you have a JD coming out of law school. Getting a job shouldn't be the most difficult thing. And knowing your grades, you should get into a very good law school. Plus you really learn so much. One thing I found interesting, the first thing my professor said last semester is that they teach us how to taylor every argument to your side, stretch the truth, and even lie. Wonder why lawyers get such a bad rap, haha. Just ask a million questions before going. I'm only one opinion. Talk to as many people as possible, but there are definitely some good things. |
