My guess is there are about 15-30 people in my class who have summer jobs with big firms, and there are 200 people in my class.expat101 wrote:Thanks for posting. Is that because of their specific placement with big law? From the 'minn' in your name, did you go to the U? Could you add anything further about why what is - I'm not saying I don't believe you, as what you said is echoed by many others here, just came to this board seeking advice and perspective, so I appreciate any input you have.

Most grads get a legal job, paying somewhere between 30-70k. That is my conclusion after attending for two years. I get the sense there is a lot of upward mobility here, though.
If you want a legal job in Minnesota, and can minimize your debt, the U can be a great choice. However, 100k in debt is too much for this school.
I'll have somewhere between 60-70k in debt when I graduate, and I am pretty nervous about how I am going to pay for that.
Feel free to follow up with more questions, or PM me.
edit: FWIW I think you should go to Nepal, and that has nothing to do with law school. It's not every day you get to do something like that. Take advantage of these kinds of opportunities when you can. Law school will be here when you come back, and you will probably score just as well!
Thanks for the follow up - I sent along a PM!
