Just over? It is north of 60 lmaoignorantfoot96 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 3:24 pmWow .. so you're okay with JUST OVER a 50% chance of practicing the law? I am willing to say it, there is no job that an Akron JD will get you that will pay more than a lawyer's salary. Are them some? yes a few people will probably have some super weird outcome because maybe they came into school with a job offer after they get their degree. However, no your reasoning is completely out of tune with the realities of legal employment.tomtownsend wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 3:04 pmThere are jobs that pay more than a lawyer that a JD helps you get in interviews and resume. So these superor jobs aren’t included in that number but would inflate it. You don’t “need” the Jd, but it helps.cavalier1138 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 2:31 pm63.6% have full-time legal jobs. That's the single most important statistic regarding job placement, because you don't need a JD for any of the other jobs that make up the full employment report.tomtownsend wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 2:18 pmOk over 90% have jobs.......nixy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 2:04 pmHave you looked at Akron's employment stats on Law School Transparency? https://www.lstreports.com/schools/akron/jobs
And regarding your current scholarship offer: You have a $30k scholarship (according Akron's 509, they don't do conditional scholarships, so if your offer says anything other than "good standing," they've changed their policy). Akron costs roughly $175k for three years at full price, which means you'll be over $140k in debt at graduation. How are you planning to repay that?
Repay it? By being a lawyer.....
People are not trying to be aggressive here, they are trying to suggest that you are making an error taking out a 6-figure debt to achieve pretty abysmal employment outcomes.
Abysmal? lol dramatic
