is law money worth it. seems a lot like academia where u have to compete with a bunch of loser nerd tryhards to end up stuck dead ended in square world



law is a very large and diverse field. the market still sucks, too. If you don't even know what area of law you're interested in, then law school definitely isn't for you.

daddyholes sounds like he has a pretty great law gig though so what do I know

also you should def. snitch and give full, detailed confessions whenever questioned by anyone about anything

since i have a rep to uphold as the "Father" of the rhizzone trinity, my serious advice on how to get a job after graduating with a degree that doesn't help is to apply to a short grad program that is interdiscplinary or a fuzzy discipline but sounds technical and draws in groups of desperate aging comp sci undergrads, so you can pass yourself off as more qualified than you are after a couple more years of drinking and football. A family member of mine recently did this and he now has a job that pays okay and doesn't bother him too much. i got my own current job through a lot of luck and things outside my control so i'm not a good example to follow.

well, law school definitely isn't worth much, in the sense that it's just a necessary evil because many states require it if you wish to be a lawyer. In terms of the job being a good one, yes it owns a lot at times, but there are downsides such as a lack of resources and funding in some departments.

depends what department you're in. If you're in a particularly busy department, you will work 10+ hours a day and have to put in some weekends. If you've got an easy assignment, then the hours are laughable. Working for the government isn't all that lucrative, though, especially at the lower ranks. Unless you go private you'll ultimately top out at low six figures and a low six figures pension.

any math/cs skills? i mean, you may be a bit old, but you know languages and may be able to get an internship at some trading/investment firm. chicago is the home of the commodities exchange and has a lot of firms. i mean, it's not an easy job and there are definitely probably a lot of try-hard nerds there too, but my friends that went into it are pretty happy with it for now and say it's a pretty different atmosphere than grad school.
