Tax LLM student. Am I SOL?
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2017 10:28 pm
I'm a tax llm at Georgetown/NYU. We are starting to receive grades and one of my grades is extremely bad. I studied but I guess I just didn't get this area of tax. I am wondering how SOL I am right now. I know the career services office says everyone who is open to geography/type of tax will find a job, but would it just be better to cut my losses and look for something else? I know I only have a semester left, but I can't imagine racking up another 40-50k of loans for no job prospects.
Other information:
I went to a top 20 law school and graduated near top 1/3. I'm a K-LLM. I am open to any market (just don't want to be in a rural area). Would prefer DC or something in the south, but open to anywhere.
Does anyone know anyone who has been in this position? I have a lot of debt and if I'm going to end up in a low-paying job after graduation, I'd rather just leave now to save myself some money.
Any help is appreciated.
