There are no jobs. If you aren't in a T14 school and doing well, you likely face many years unemployment. Heed the warnings now before its too late! Imagine graduating hundreds of thousands in debt with a starting salary of 30k! Dont go!

Great 'lawoftheland' lets see what you say a few months after you graduate. You'll care then, thats for sure. But the debt will have been incurred and it will be too late.

Take your diatribe to JDU.

People at TLS are well aware of the job market difficulties. I, for one, have considered this greatly and have decided to pursue it anyway. Don't assume that people on TLS are naive or haven't explored their options.

Not to mention most on tls are going to t14 anyhow. Or at least a lot. Pointless thread here. It also won't stop anyone already in process.

I was bored and I wanted to see how scary JDU was. Honestly, it's really not at all. In fact, it seemed pretty "meh" and not enough "SKY IS FALLING OMG" that I was expecting.

AH! Lemmings! I just learned about their true nature from another thread here on TLS:

The more you know!

Is being a Starbucks barista no longer a reliable fallback option?

I'll go ahead an play devil's advocate here. I've been a paralegal for 9 years (7 in private practice, 2 in govt) and it's all about marketability. Sure, it has a lot to do with your alum status, grades, internships, etc. But there are thousands of people with the same credentials. The one thing that sets them apart includes their looks, speaking ability, etc. - marketability. Can they put your name on a letterhead? You might be one smart cookie, but you're going to have a hard time convincing Moore, Smith, Sanchez & Jones that Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff looks good in print. Can they sell you to a jury? You may come from a T14, but if you're morbidly obese, have a language impediment, smell funky or are just plain ugly you're not getting the job - not when someone more articulate and attractive can be found. You don't need to be a Calvin Klein model, but get your fat ass on a treadmill, fix your snaggle teeth, learn to speak and write properly, and for the love of Bob wear deodorant. That's my $.02.

Don't go to law school. There's still lots of competition for jobs as it is... less future lawyers means less competition for me.
