<p>Oh you and Justin Bieber make a cute couple…</p>
<p>Lol :D!</p>
<p>i actually see where riley is coming from. essenar, you’re actually quite wrong when u say that who you know does NOT matter when becoming a lawyer. In fact, most law school students spend a lot of their free time networking with alumni’s. ive actually got a few offers lined up already regardless of what law school im going to attend. One is a mid-law personal injury firm that starts at 115k (not big law, but still good) and another mid-law firm that specializes in workers compensation that starts just below 100k. Even if your law school is not T-14, you still have a good chance of getting a well-paying job. I think up to T-30 is good for law school. I AM aware, however, that once u drop out of the t-14, schools generally turn regional, so go to a school in the area where you are sure you want to practice.
Riley, I know exactly what you’re thinking of doing (changing the major) because im planning on doing the exact same thing. I plan on changing my major from philosophy to something like sociology or media studies if i get into Cal because i heard philosophy is just ridiculous there. I know you guys say that if u dont love that major, you’re not gonna do well in it. well thats completely false. I have a bunch of friends who HATE math/science stuff and they’re doing perfectly fine with their engineering major (btw they’re planning on going to law school to become a patent lawyer).</p>

<p>The ghost of Johnny Cochrane has lined me up with an offer defending the next black athlete who murders his ex-wife in a trial that will surely divide this fragile nation…</p>
<p>touch</p>
<p>@essenar, that really was a good post, but i didnt read it all yet (that shi t is too much for one sitting).
But the lawyer industry isnt the only one like that, I’m sure not all graduates with an engineering degree get jobs either.
I’m not flaming; I just think youre being unfair to OP</p>
