The NYT takes a swipe at us reverse-splitters:
"In fact, “The Deep End” was conceived in 2007, that halcyon era of $160,000 starting salaries and full employment
even for law grads who had scored in the 150s on their LSAT’s."
Not fair!

Sorry, I thought it was funny mainly for the 150s comment. I didn't mean to incite a riot!

Or maybe its just a swipe at people who did poorly on the LSAT.

These articles scared me before.
IBR/LRAP ftw.
Sure that may not be a perfect solution but financial security while engaged in a meaningful career isnt terrible, its just not 120-160k a year.

Ah, I posted this in a thread about that Deep End show ... I quoted that same sentence, because it shocked me.

The article itself may be a downer, but watch the video associated with the article. It's actually fairly uplifting.

Just wondering, why do you still post on this forum?

I'm still trying to decide if I should go.
