This is actually a fallacy because the prestige of a law degree can translate into many different professions. If you end up at Subway, it's because you didn't take advantage of all the opportunities law school had to offer.john7234797 wrote:Why?

Imagine being a "lawyer" without a "lawyer job". Try explaining to all your confused family and friends why you're not making a lot of money and are working at subway even though you are a "lawyer".
It may be a bit of an exaggeration but look at the people listed as "Unemployed" on LST. Eventually they gotta do something so they can eat.InGoodFaith wrote:This is actually a fallacy because the prestige of a law degree can translate into many different professions.

better question is what pct of TLS is elitist?TheZoid wrote:Given that there's a pacific mcgeorge applicants thread on the front page of tls, apparently plenty of people still haven't figured it out.
How many of the people listed as "unemployed" do you think aren't looking? I'm guessing most are. When nothing comes through for a year though.. well you gotta work a job you never imagined yourself working as a college graduate, let alone a law degree.InGoodFaith wrote:How about going out and getting a real job instead of becoming one of thesejohn7234797 wrote:It may be a bit of an exaggeration but look at the people listed as "Unemployed" on LST.

Kids these days just need to learn how to hustle. The "in" you get through networking is just about a guaranteed job, so I don't understand why people don't network more; instead, they just complain on online forums all day.InGoodFaith wrote:This is actually a fallacy because the prestige of a law degree can translate into many different professions.
