Never going to law school, but I am going to get a useless environmental studies major.

Great video. So true about how many jobs at big firms are landed and how many law school graduates are turned into indentured servants slaving to pay off big loans.

When I'm asked about going to law school, I ask, “Would you like to practice law in a third world legal system?”

Being a lawyer is even worse than you can imagine. If you piss off a crooked judge or a connected attorney, you will be screwed. To see for yourself, Google: Justice in Florida Supreme Court documents missing.

@FutureCACPA So true it is all about networking and people seems to forget that. Networking is how I got my foot into the film business door.

Networking is everything. Who you know is far more important that what you know assuming a basic level of knowledge. I probably won't go to law school but if I do I already got offered a position as long as I get decent grades at a top 25. I have a few friends that work there and we drink together. Accountants comingle with practicing lawyers.

I hate it when the response I get from people about how they got their jobs is "I have a friend there" or "I have a relative there", no matter what job it is. I've never had a friend or relative even try to fix me up with a job

@Sniper2008009 Negative. The reason is... after you've been bent over the desk letting the law school take your a-hole for all it's worth in terms of student loans, no banker in their right mind would finance you a loan to go start your own practice. Law is serious work. It takes a lot of studious research. Starting your own practice would require hiring someone to do the research or access to westlaw or lexusnexus... look up the cost of a subscription to one of those. It's a big dirty scam.

People forget to ask the MOST important question- Top15% of the class in WHICH LAW SCHOOL?

[redSHIFT69]

what do you call 20,000 lawyers drowned in the ocean?

- a good start!

[Sniper2008009]

Isn't the point of law school you won't need a job anymore but be self-employed instead?

It's about who you know not what you know. People who trust in academia should burn.
