Thanks for all the great comments. I know the quality of video is bad. But hey, it is free!

By the way, I graduated in the top third of my class at UF, a top tier law school, and I aced the Bar exams and LSAT. Google: scores and recommendations markadamsjdmba

I won some big cases, but I ran into the old boys who rule our third world legal system. Since we no longer can hold them accountable when they violate the law, they take cash and say black is white and right is wrong. To learn how they get away with this, google: Why Does the Government Ignore Our Wishes?

@MarkAdamsAtty Cant say I disagree. Mainly communist controlled public service unions holding taxpayers hostage by complaining about corporations that create millions of jobs and pay 70 percent of taxes. The SEIU are destroying our free market system and guarantee a collective raises for less qualified employees on the backs of the few producers, who are forced to be in the unions. SUPPORT right to work. End forced union membership to work and end the involuntary money funnel to communists

either you have serious epilepsy or you need a new camera

@Doggieman1111 Yeah. It was an HD camera and too advanced for my editing software.

Wow! Thanks for sharing this info. I had no idea this program exicsted. I have been planning on going to get my paralegal AA first and try for law school after. But maybe I need to look at this a bit closer. Thanks again!!

I presume this is just for the U.S.

@FutureCACPA Problem is, students don't do any research and enter TTTs, my brother got a fulltime job at BigLaw and his hiring Partner told him "The school name mattered a lot to our decision, lower ranked school grads usually don't have the cunning to compete in a very competitive market, we only want the best"...

Moral of the story, if you want to maximize your odds as a Lawyer, go to the best ranked school possible and do well from there, Tier 1 is fine with Scholly, T2-T3-T4 = SCAM.

@WarrenAch

The media promotes the legal profession like crazy. Makes it seem so exciting and glamorous. So far I have never heard about a CPA firm show. Probably because most people find dealing with money boring. I love the hell out of it.

Seriously I have forecast the futures of some potential law students I know that are considering taking the 150k student loan out for the 4th tier. Most feel they will be in that top 10% that gets good jobs despite all evidence to the contrary.

[FutureCACPA]

@WarrenAch

It is possible. However it is highly improbable. The person matters the most not the degree. The degree only gets your foot in the door.

Yep there are way too many attorneys I agree with you here. In california you don't even have to graduate from an ABA accredited law school to become an attorney. Check out Laurence Drivon college of law and San Jouquin College of Law. They are a joke.

46,000 is an insane amount. Being a lawyer is so overglamorized on TV

[WarrenAch]

@FutureCACPA You're talking about exceptions, which aren't the case for the vast majority of grads out there.

You "knew a few tier 3 and 4 grads that make a ton", maybe true, but as you claim, they graduated way before the market became shit, therefore your point stands biased and invalid.

Concerning the rest of your claims, wether true or pure bullshit, still isn't enough to prove that getting a good gig outside the Top-30 is possible for the 46,000 students taking the bar each year.

[FutureCACPA]

@WarrenAch

This is of course because I know the right people!

[FutureCACPA]

@WarrenAch

How is getting a good gig out of a top 30 school a myth?

I guess it depends on your field. If I decide to pursue tax law after I get my CPA I am set as long as I can get into a tier 1 school. I would get interviews after admission . My worst case scenario would involve working at my CPA firm as an attorney getting 90k a year.

This may not be worth it though since if I get on partnership track in the next 7 years I can make over 150k with just my BS and my CPA certification.

@WarrenAch

Talent means a lot. I know a few graduates of tier 3 and 4 colleges that make a ton. These are the seasoned attorneys with 10 years of experience, a large client base and a series of big wins in civil court.

[WarrenAch]

@FutureCACPA Talent doesn't mean anything, especially in a market that welcomes over 46,000 students with Juris Doctor Booya Degrees each year.

+ Finding a good gig coming out from a non Top-30 is a myth, "local markets" as well.

The ONLY TTT School that i know that has grads holding somewhat decent positions is Howard.

Yes, CPA's are in bigger demand, but the job itself is boring as fuck lol
