Well, sure, Turkish. But I would never work in law just because I thought I might have the opportunity to earn $5K more. So it's not ALL money.
 
Dude

I'm just being inquisitive to help me make a decision before the year is up.

I had many sleepless nights think of what to do......and i have to make a decision soon.

Anyone think i am too old for law?

Thanks
 
HI All

Thanks for everyone careful insight. I guess i'm still confused after all of this Q&A. I think i need to go do some work before my boss catch me online. He micro-manages.

Please keep your advice/opinion coming....as i will check back in 2 hrs.


Thanks everyone.

Best part was when he inquired about MBA and Law School and said that he "liked both equally, and did pretty good in Undergraduate in both."

^ surprised nobody caught this before...this is hilarious. not as crazy as the terminator story or the sink story, though
 
"students coming out of top law schools are commanding $130K"

They're also working insane hours aren't they? Seems like its a quality of life issue, at least with finance front office jobs, you don't need as much education (2 years of fun in B-School trumps the 3 years of Law School which is supposedly no picnic).

You could always do a JD/MBA combo, I know a lot of good schools offer a dual program, and you can do it in 4 years versus 5 if u did them seperately. Also, for at least 1 school (Northwestern), I've heard that its easier to get into the dual problem than it is for getting into 1 of the programs alone (supposedly b/c they allocate a certain # of seats to the dual program, and the number of applicants is a lot lower).

Why would someone pay me $130K for not returning the favor in form of hard work, however hard the work may be? So, if you are a newly minted lawyer or FO person, be prepared to put in your time.

I know first year of law school is supposed to be tough, but not sure if the next 2 years would be equally challenging. By that time, whatever you professional field of study is, you should know the tricks of the trade.

Doing a JD/MBA combo is a good idea. However, I can only work as an MBA or JD. This implies I should have have ordered a regular meal instead of a supersizing it. If I'm undecided now, it would be even harder to swallow the pain of picking one over the other at/around graduation.

but don't people in their 2nd and 3rd year of law school do all this crazy stuff like Law Review, Legal Aid, and all that jazz to stand out from the crowd?

Also, I thought that law firms were very picky with selecting people who finished in the Top 10% of their graduating class (whereas they don't do class ranking in b-school).
 
Why does this thread continue when it seems pretty clear that it was a joke?
