Did the anti big law trolling back fire?

Post by 09042014 » Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:00 am

I see a bunch of posts about people going into only 120k in debt to a shit school "because they don't want big law"

By my math, that means far fewer people are attending T-14s, and Biglaw will probably start hiring from T-50s.

I think they're just going to settle for the job that pays reasonably well but still gives them a solid work/life balance mixed in with friendly coworkers and interesting work, in their ideal market that combines a high quality of life with a low cost of living. They just don't need biglaw to be happy I guess.

Such a shame to see people lower their expectations this way.

There's tons of them in the Midwest... You just have to wait for boomers to die, since they currently occupy the entire field and will never retire.
