the legal profession revolves around "prestige"...it's stupider in practice than the arguments in this thread...brace yourself.

haha nah, other than the 5% of harvard students who go for academia/some prestigious PI position and have to settle for biglaw, i think everyone is as happy as they're going to realistically get with law school employment outcomesHolly Golightly wrote:I've gone back and forth on whether you're trolling or just obtuse, but now I think I've settled on trolling.emu42 wrote: i'm pretty sure the 16% of harvard grads that don't fall into those categories are perfectly happy with their outcomes (even if you might not be)

she's transitioned into some kind of low grade performance artist, but if she's ever going to be successful she needs to take it off the internet and run the alternative comedy circuit with this irredeemably obnoxious prestige whore character she's developed...otherwise it's just another shitposter taking the "I was just trolling/having a little fun because you guyz are too seriouz" exit option.Holly Golightly wrote:I've gone back and forth on whether you're trolling or just obtuse, but now I think I've settled on trolling.emu42 wrote: i'm pretty sure the 16% of harvard grads that don't fall into those categories are perfectly happy with their outcomes (even if you might not be)

Are there really a lot of people with this thought process, or is it a rarity? Obviously a school like Yale, Harvard, or Stanford is going to yield good outcomes for the vast majority, but for a person to think that every single solitary person who attends a school like Harvard has a great outcome is baffling to me.

Oh no, I'm sure that your ASW experience was eye-opening, and that no one from HLS has ever ended up jobless or in a job they didn't want.emu42 wrote: umad? what evidence do you have to suggest otherwise?

Re: Take the money and Run; YS - CCNH?
Is there something magical about HLS that makes them like shitlaw and underemployment? Or do you think those jobs are just better? If so why harvard, HLS isn't even close to a necessity for that. Using your logic, the 30% at Michigan should be enjoying it just as much right?
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
