Anyone familiar with "career associate"?
Just read the headline on Yahoo today,
--LinkRemoved-- .
Seems some BigLaws are creating a second-tier lawyer program which pays less than half of the market price(160K annually) and instead of being associates those staff enrolled in the program are called career associates who will never make partners.
For someone like me who's planning to apply for law school, will this policy be more trendy among biglaws which means you should never apply for law school cause if u can only make 60-70k per year after wasting three years only to find u r in debt for over 150k, you must be absolutely nuts. Or it's still possible to make 160k for a new graduate? Thank you.

2. 60-70k would probably put you well inside top quarter of kids graduating from law school
