When I went to law school, orentation consisted of 3 days of being repeatedly told:
1) Your degree will not get you the salaries you expect. You will be paying these loans off forever.
2) Most law school grads hate being lawyers
3) There is an extremely high level of dis-satisfaction with this degree and this career path.
4) If any of this bothers you, LEAVE NOW.
I am the only member of my class who actually listened, and left after one semester.
Nobody can blame the schools, as they seem to be very clear on these issues.
- endtime 16y agoNobody can blame a school which says that, I agree. Which law school was this?
- synnik 16y agoUniversity of Denver.
- mikecarlucci 16y agoI heard the same stuff in orientation and even as someone who was intrigued (my high school US History teacher was a former lawyer) by law school from a young age I went into it open to leave. The first year should definitely tell you if you want to spend your life in a law related capacity. Personally I'm glad I stayed but it isn't for everyone and like the guy in the article has found it's a very difficult path to leave.
