But on second thought he seems like a bit of an idiot. He picked a law school soley on the base that San Diego would be a nice place to spend three years of his life. He almost gets talked into buying a house when starting law school though he has no financial support for his expense. Then he moves across the country to a saturated job market because he feels like it, making it incredibly more difficult to find a job because his school probably has no connections there. His choices are what got him to where he or shall I where is he not. <br />People need to stop blaming the law school. It has been and always will be - you get to where you are in life by your actions alone. <br />I know I don't need to say this but I will - Brian you are right!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765820734377721544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834335945349958946.post-63530873169534988112011-01-21T06:50:42.761-08:002011-01-21T06:50:42.761-08:00I hate to admit it, but you're right. I'll...I hate to admit it, but you're right. I'll be honest...I'm one of those people that only went to law school because it sounded like it might be fun to be a lawyer and I thought I could make more money doing that than being a librarian (I'm serious; it was either law school or library school.) And I've had my share of rough times since I graduated in 2007, right as things were starting to go south. Still...enough with the whining. That New York Times article was great, except for the fact that it focused on exactly the kind of people who really shouldn't be whining about anything. Where are the articles about the older people with kids who made what they thought was a practical decision to go to law school, who are now struggling to find jobs or open their own practices and make enough money to feed and clothe their kids? Nobody's doing articles about them because they're too busy working and making ends meet to sit around reading articles about whiny law school grads. The people with all the time to read those articles are...well, the whiny law school kids. <br /><br />Anyway you're right. Everytime I start to feel sorry for myself, I just read an article about the "law school" crisis to remind myself of what a douche I'll sound like if I complain to anyone.Alexander Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041808057755360625noreply@blogger.com
