<p>A BC student asks that he be allowed to quit law school now and get his money back. He argues this will benefit the law school too, as it won't have to report his unemployment, thus avoiding a "hit" in its US News ranking. </p>
<p>Scary stuff when someone is claiming that MOST students at a school ranked as highly as BC Law can't get a job.</p>
<p>Open</a> Letter to Interim Dean Brown|EagleiOnline </p>
<p>All I see in this letter is blame and no regard for personal responsibility.</p>
<p>^agreed. It also seems to have been written more for fanfare than out of actual desperation. There’s no chance BC will actually consider this guy’s proposal. </p>
<p>This comment under the article was blunt, but pretty much said it: </p>
<p>
WOW. I feel sorry for your wife, as come April she will have two crying babies in her house.</p>
<p>I agree with you that that current market is not ideal for law school graduates (but same is true in almost any other field) and even that the Career Services tend to be useless most of the time, but you did not pay 120K+ for a headhunter, you paid for an education (but maybe you did not receive it based on your arguments here)</p>
<p>Man up. You say that you are a 3L with no job prospects and your first baby due in April. Unless you are a sixteen year old hornball with no idea how contraception works, you elected to bring a child into this world knowing that you will have *<strong><em>loads of loans, and no job prospects *</em></strong> poor planning on your part. You do not go out and buy a big house, or enlarge your family, when you have no means to pay for it, so now your only purported plan is to black mail the school into refunding you all of your tuition money because you failed to learn anything while here.
<p>But at least I give you points for bringing forward your inadequacies into the public forum, and maybe starting a meaningful discussion on what the school could realistically do to help its student body in the current market.

<p>well for some ppl this must be a hit. will u still go to law school if you can’t get a job right after graduation and pay ur debt back?</p>
