Re: My wife doesn't buy that not doing top 10 isn't worthwhile
I chose lesser T14 with $$$, which shares the employment prospects of some of the T15-20, but is older and slightly more prestigious. I want to see my family, and, T14 or not, if you go 200k in debt, you're going to have to work all of the time. Just a little bit of my perspective on relenting on the top school or bust mentality. With living expenses debt at the most, I almost feel that this whole law school thing is not entirely insane.

Wow. I really did not see what they are thinking.

Sure, Seoulless. I don't think that my PS was necessarily phenomenal, but it definitely didn't screw the pooch. PM me or link me to another thread, and I'll tell you what I think.Seoulless wrote:This isn't the appropriate forum, but the people responding here are by far the most helpful people I've met here.

How is it that for all these schools, the 50% percentile is 160,000? Wouldn't we expect to find variance, if only by 1,000 or so?

Re: To people who say it's worthwhile to do non T-14
Gotcha. So let me know if I've got this right - while the average Penn grad makes the same as the average Columbia Grad, the later has more interesting positions available for that salary than does the former.Regulus wrote:Because market biglaw salary is $160,000.Seoulless wrote:How is it that for all these schools, the 50% percentile is 160,000?

Even if there is some variance in reality, you must keep in mind that these are numbers that are self-reported by schools, which in turn get these number through self-reporting from their graduates, so if a student is making $160,932 they might just say that they make $160,000 to make things easier.

She's right and your wrong. Going to a school outside of T10 for the right price can be a great decision.

There are tons of people who don't go to t-10 or t-14 and end up having successful and "worthwhile" careers.

While I agree with what you're getting at this isn't exactly a great way to state it. Because there are also tons of people who don't go to t-10 or t-14 who end up having shitty careers (if they even get to be a lawyer) and debt they can't service. "Tons" isn't exactly a great measuring stick to use.PalmBay wrote:There are tons of people who don't go to t-10 or t-14 and end up having successful and "worthwhile" careers.

Re: My wife doesn't buy that not doing top 10 isn't worthwhile
I never commented on those who don't attain satisfactory careers. Stating that tons of people outside the t-10/14 are able to doesn't imply that there are tons who do not. If that's what you extrapolated, it's not my fault.drevo wrote:While I agree with what you're getting at this isn't exactly a great way to state it.

There are also "tons" of people who dropped out of college who ended up successful with "worthwhile" careers. That doesn't mean it's advisable.PalmBay wrote:There are tons of people who don't go to t-10 or t-14 and end up having successful and "worthwhile" careers.
