Yeah if it's not from a top program law school is a giant waste of money. Same thing with MBAs tbh.

The first time my son told me he wanted to be an attorney I told him that if that was what he really wanted to do then he was gonna have to kick ass in undergrad and sculpt a resume that would get him into a top tier law school because I was already seeing the trend of broke ass starving lawyers coming out of the second tier schools like St. Marys.

my brother did a GED justice program, he wants to do law school...being asian in anglo saxon country, i dont hear or see any succesful asian attorneys, all of them handle pussy cases...so i told him is it worth the money to study law and be unemployed cause ur just not good enough....
There's a saying that China produces 10 engineers for every lawyer, while the US produces 10 lawyers for every engineer. Probably not true, but still...
I deserve respect and justice so I want someone who demands it.
Probably truer than you'd think. The US doesn't produce any engineers anymore, largely cause the US doesn't make anymore.
This. Although this Lieberman dude got straight ed. I graduated in 2009 from UT. 50% of my class was unemployed because of the crash. Top tier firms (i.e., Skadden) deferred the incoming class for a year. Others straight up rescinded offers to graduates. All this is to say that homeboy might not be the best example. I've also heard that law school enrollment has gone done in the past few years because this message has gotten a lot of play. But that's just hearsay and I don't have actual numbers.
There's associates degrees with starting salary of 50k to 80,000
You don't go to law school to make 50-80k
But if there is a supply and demand imbalance of lawyers, that could happen.
I believe in most states, you only need to pass the Bar Exam to practice. This might be the better way to start, and know if you can cut it or not. Someone who is a natural, will accel, even with limited schooling.
There is a load of lawyers making less than that.
True. But I bet most, if not all, went to law school expecting to make double that.
Yeah, my son broke 300K this year with bonus.

That's pretty good. Depending on the city, it's not uncommon for partners at big firms to make between 600-1MM
SA has a godawful legal market. I'm not surprised at all the median is 78k
Yeah he was doing the partner track at a big firm and one of the big movie/entertainment studios in LA hired him away to oversee litigation.
Yeah, and the sad part is they think they have to play the part of the "successful lawyer" with the expensive suits and the fancy cars. I love making twice what they do wearing jeans to work.
That'll do it ... that sounds like a ing awesome job.
If you're a lawyer in Texas and not in Houston, you're doing it wrong ...
No offense FWD
A gambler also goes to the casino expecting to win
Does USA really need 95% of the planet`s lawyers? why?
