Southwestern sticker or Whittier with 27k? Forum

[flem]

-At Whittier, only 21 of 123 graduates (17%) got full-time, bar passage-required jobs.

Holy shit, that isn't a joke. That is atrocious.

[GueritaPeloChino]

Man, this forum is good at chasing away the new posters who ask about T2/T3/T4 schools. I wonder how many of them actually stay long enough to read all the way down these threads.

pshh, I sure do !

Take Whittier with the $$$.

Others have been telling you to skip both, but no one has asked if that's even an option. So I will.

Can you relocate out of state?
If not, how far are you willing to commute?

To everyone else, for many living here in SoCal, moving is not an option. Some have families with spouses that work and children to take care of. T1 schools for many are out of reach, both geographically and financially even with $$$. Lay off those who cannot attend a better school.

According the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for lawyers is 1.6% and the median income for new grads is $75k nationally. Yes, I will grant that the numbers on their face look bad, but so do the numbers for new grad RN's and MD's. However, over the long run, you will make more money attending law school, than any other profession and you do not need a big law firm to do it.

Case in point, if you spend 3 years in the DA's office, you will have more trial experience than a fellow graduate who goes to work for a civil litigation firm and while they will make more money than you at the start, but at the end of the 3 years, you can take your extensive trial experience and go to work for that very same civ lit firm and get paid more than your fellow grad and be on track to make partner first.

In SoCal, the majority of judges at both the Superior and Appellate levels have come from T4 schools. Do not let these snobs scare you away from what you want to do. If you want to practice law, then go for it. If you are unable to move, then take Whittier.

This is just a fucking moronic post across the board.

It's always an option, and it has nothing to do with relocation. How about, oh I dunno... not going to law school at all?

Who made you the fucking king of the world? So, if that's the extent of your arguing skills, then I will look forward to seeing you at Burger King the next time I take my kids. Make sure not to get burned from the deep fryer.

You wrote nothing worth responding to. The few substantive points you attempted to make were flat out inaccurate, and the rest was incomprehensible boomerbabble. It was one of the most asinine things I have ever read.

I believe timbs said it best:

At Whittier, only 21 of 123 graduates (17%) got full-time, bar passage-required jobs.

Suggesting that someone go to a school with statistics like these is just rank idiocy.

[top30man]

Literally you have a better shot at roulette, craps, or blackjack and a full time legal jerb from Whittier. The sublimest of idiocy.

It's "hating" to point out that betting $100,000 on a 17% chance at a legal job is a bad idea? You are an idiot. GTFO with your awful advice and opinions on how nice the area is.

Where do these people keep coming from?

Now that I think about it, I remember this guy trolling in the same manner from over a year ago. The question is whether he is just a troll stirring the pot or actually believes the shit he posts. If I could hope, I'd hope for troll.
