Ouch! I'm sure your job rocks, but I don't think I could handle that. I made shit at this job, but I got to work remotely and set my own hours. I'll never have this much freedom again.f0bolous wrote:
if they'd fire you for job hunting, why wouldn't they in this case? heading out of the office at 6pm every couple of nights a week when everyone else is working to meet deadlines would be a fireable offense. i'm already finding it difficult to study for the lsat; i couldn't imagine trying to take ls classes clandestinely.

My criticism is leveled at the BLS administration. I feel the school has been dishonest on a number of issues. However, I have several friends heading there in August (all PI bound), and I think they'll do just fine. If I had a choice in the matter, I'd take Cardozo, though.jrod wrote:Brooklyn.

Are you waitlisted, or have you not heard anything? If it were any earlier in the year, I would point you toward the May start program. I know several 160s and 161s who have been accepted. Orientation started yesterday, I believe. It's possible that there is still space in the program. I would contact the school if you are interested.yo111 wrote:Still waiting on Cardozo.

RM, I'm curious: How far up the food chain would he have to go to make this worthwhile, in your opinion?reasonable_man wrote:I think, personally, Ops career goals are way out of line with reality no matter which of these two schools Op attends... So honestly.. Either one is probably a bad choice for what you want.. So I'd look to minimize debt while making a massive mistake.. But thats just me and I lack the blind enthusiasm of a 0L, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Actually, hot dog stand without any debt is a decent gig. Just recently saw an article about a guy who is doing quite well with his stand.rayiner wrote:Yes, it is. It is not, however, better than being a CPA!sentinal5656 wrote:If the OP, ends up in "shitlaw" or "smallLaw" or whatever, I don't think thats a horrible thing either. I guess it depends on your standards. ShitLaw folks start out around 60K and after a few years, they are makin 6 figures... whats wrong with that? better than working a hot dog stand.

Try startnig between 40 and 60k and making 80 after 5 years bud... get real ok.sentinal5656 wrote:All I was really trying to say is that BLS won't ruin the OP's life. That is taking it way too far. First of all, he wants to do PT. I hope the OP plans on working to offset the costs. Maybe the employer can pay some of the tuition?
I am a 0L, so if you say there is no Midlaw, then fine. My friends in the Nyc legal market, told me there was, but I am not going to argue this too much.
