thanks

Forget rankings. Rankings arent the end all be all.
If you want an answer to your question look through this:

The problem with your question is that "jobs" is such a vague term. What kind of a job? What are the earnings from these jobs? How stable are they? Etc, etc.
It all depends on what you want to do.
Good luck!

Retake.
And yes, that is a serious response. Do not go to law school planning to transfer. And if you think transferring into Dozo, SJ, or Brooklyn is a good idea, it is not.

I know you are kidding but that just isn't kosher. "Make a better decision" would adequately suit your intended purpose.

It's still a better decision for NYC than Fordham. But so is most of the T14 . . .

It's too late? How old are you? Maybe if you're 73 you can't afford the extra year.

Even worse.
Seriously, I wasn't kidding when I said Columbia, NYU, Cornell, and Fordham. That's it.
And if your plan is to go to a 4th tier school and transfer up, that is a very very poor plan.

I would chime in and offer constructive advice, but I know I'd be risking carpal tunnel for nothing.
