with grammar like that, you will not be making $160,000 per year.liplaw wrote:I hear a lot that even though many top schools advertise that the median salary is $160,000, that in actuality that info is very misleading.

Assuming that most of the graduates submit salary data, how is this data misleading? Doesn't it mean that half the class have salaries under 160,000 and half have salaries over that figure?
I think the "1" added before $60,000 is a mistake. In this economy it's cost prohibitive to fix all the pamphlets, websites, data, etc. to reflect the actual salary figure so it's kept at 160k. Sorry about that.liplaw wrote:I hear a lot that even though many top schools advertise that the median salary is $160,000, that in actuality that info is very misleading.

that is a faulty assumption, particularly with tier 3 and 4 schools. for example, look at nyls employment data: --LinkRemoved--liplaw wrote:I hear a lot that even though many top schools advertise that the median salary is $160,000, that in actuality that info is very misleading.

I liked where you were going with this until we got to saving the whales. Sarcasm is a delicate device....not to be used carelessly. Possible edit please? I think if you subsitute the whale thing for something else, It will be very lulz-worthy.reasonable_man wrote:Almost all law grads earn 160K or more per year. They always have and they always will. The economy is sound and firms are hiring in mass quantities. The hardest decision you will likely make 3 years out of school is which color Porche to buy and whether you want to bang the blonde model on the regular (keeping the two brunettes to the side), or some other reasonable dating structure therein, while trying to decide between McCallen 25 or Louis for an after dinner drink at Peter L's after leaving work at exactly 5:01pm at a biglaw firm of your choice, having worked a full day in your dream practice area (international public law or perhaps cross boarder saving the whales from mean terrorist law), writing briefs to the SCOTUS or at the worst one of those pesky Courts of Appeal at the gasp.. circuit level....
Sit back an enjoy the ride. Any T100 LS will do.

Well done sir, well done.reasonable_man wrote: Only because I considered deleting it as I typed it has this edit taken place
True. Schools like to be extra cautious when providing their salary information. They don't want to risk any students feeling disappointed upon graduation. The 160k is probably a conservative figure.bissey wrote:160k is the minimum you will be earning
