I hate that some colleges do the +/- system. All it does is fuck over people at the higher end. If yours was just a straight A, B, C, D school, you'd have a 4.0.

Only helps people at the bottom, hurts the top

Completely agree with you. I'm a lowly sophomore, and they implemented the +/- system at the beginning of the current school year. It's brought my GPA down significantly, and I hate it. Worst part, an A+ is still only a 4.0, but an A- is a 3.6. What gives?

Radio, congratulations. That's awesome!
 
What law school u go to? Im in law school as well or was in law school. First semester is always the hardest cause you have to figure out what type of bullshit works best for getting through it, but at the end getting through it beats paying attorneys $350 an hour to tell you that your contract needs spell check.
Cheers
 
Dude, get the fuck out of law school. What's wrong with you? I was two days away from getting on the plane to go to law school, but then realized it was a huggee fucking fail decision and took IM on full-time. Best decision I ever made. And please don't tell me you you go to a TTT.
 
Nice job, man. A lot of law school professors hate to give A's, so it depends on what school you're going to, but either way, good job.

Seems like it's working out for him though. How would you know it was a "fucking fail decision" if you didn't go and see what it was like?

Well, first of all, if he doesn't go to a top school, he's fighting an uphill battle to begin with. The legal market blows right now, and firms certainly aren't looking too far outside of the top 14. Even when the market it good, it's still very difficult to land a job when you don't go to a good school.

Too many shitty law schools have opened up. They know they can charge anyone who gets a 150 on the LSAT 45k a year, which leads to a bunch of graduates with over 100k in debt and no job to even begin paying it off. They're fucked. I don't know about the OP's situation, but he's likely paying, so I hope he goes to a better school.

Now, let's say that he goes to a good school. With his GPA he's employable. Nevertheless, he still probably has an insane amount of debt (hopefully not), which will likely force him into a horrible biglaw job, working ridiculous hours all week long with little to no weekend or free time, with partners calling and e-mailing him to do last minute bitch work (while they go out and snort blow off of a stripper's asshole). 99% of these people want to blow their brains out with in a month of being at a biglaw job. The problem is that they have no choice but to stay because of their mountain of debt. In short, it's not worth it unless you truly want to be an attorney. Most kids go because they think it's prestigious and have no fucking clue what to do with their lives (plus, it makes their parents happy).Maybe the OP DOES want to be an attorney, and if that's the case I wish him the best of luck. However, the vast majority of attorneys are miserable, angry fucks who hate their lives. Worst of all, 90% of attorneys make shitty money.

THIS. BIGTIME. GET THE FUCK OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!!!
 
To those with the kind words: thanks!

To the sky is falling crowd: thanks for the concern bitches... but everything is gravy. I researched the field, knew the pros and cons, and have managed my finances (a profitable plugin and a scholarship go a long way). is what you say accurate about some, yes. is it about me, no. is what you posted chock full of assumptions (and you know the saying)... yes.

get out? um, no. ha. now go buy my fucking plugin.
 
Good job. I'm working on getting my ass into law school for Sept. 2010 or at latest Sept. 2011.

We'll see what happens.

Keep up the good work.

Good to hear you're not going to have a lot of debt, OP. I don't think my response is full of assumptions. I personally know several people who have graduated and can't find jobs to save their lives. Worst of all, their 2k a month payments are due. Also, it's not too difficult to find horror stories all over the internet.

I'm simply of the opinion that it's not worth the risk if you don't go to a top school, or if you dont' have a substantial scholarship at a lesser school. That's all I have to say on it.

For some reason this subject bothers me, as IM is FREEDOM, and going into law seems to be the antithesis of freedom. To me, it's the rat race.

In any event, best of luck.
 
I like people who hate on lawyers. Last time I checked I pay a shitload to even speak to a lawyer let alone have them write something up or help with something. Having a law degree to fall back on or supplement income, provide more knowledge, etc isn't a bad thing at all.
 
Anyone who doubts Radio's abilities in any field, most of all law, are gonna be uberfucked if you ever find yourself on the business end of his letterhead.

And I 2nd buying Auction2Post, the best wordpress plugin out there, bar none!
