UCLA Law & Unemployment

<p>kay so, from what I hear, attorneys are a dime a dozen. </p>

<p>why is it? if i apply to ucla school of law, are most attorneys that graduate from their successful.</p>

<p>any relative or personal stories.</p>

<p>I heard its a good school because lots of law firms love taking graduates that graduated from their. but there school is top notch so you gotta do well in lsat and get the good gpa to get in.</p>

<p>hmm do you know the usual starting pay for law school graduates?</p>

<p>[url=&lt;a href=“http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos053.htm]Lawyers[/url”&gt;http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos053.htm]Lawyers[/url</a>] 80,000 bucks</p>

<p>Sorry Ryan… but this drives me crazy.</p>

<p>Edit: I heard its a good school because lots of law firms love taking graduates that graduated from THERE. but THEIR school is top notch so you gotta do well in lsat and get the good gpa to get in.</p>

<p>80k is fair.</p>

<p>120k after dental school.</p>

<p>law school seems fairly easy, maybe I’m trippin.</p>

<p>Me too…</p>

<p>"kay so, from what I hear, attorneys are a dime a dozen. </p>

<p>why is it? if i apply to ucla school of law, are most attorneys that graduate from THERE successful."</p>

<p>Also, look at the UCLA school of law’s profile of graduated students. A nice percentage secured employment within 9 months of graduating and there are ample salary charts to take a look at as well.</p>

<p>There, their, they’re; there is a difference.</p>

<p>Now you’re considering law school? :P</p>

<p>Honestly, there are enough unhappy lawyers in the business already, don’t go into it because you think it’ll be easy or making six figures.</p>

<p>^ ■■■■■. damn y’all know me good.</p>

<p>@Indie & killmy: Thank goodness, I was going crazy reading it too. Considering going to law school but not being able to differentiate between their and there? Long road ahead buddy.</p>

<p>^oh s t f u, it is not that serious. I just recently got an A in the final english course in the english sequence. I am fine.</p>

<p>stay on topic or don’t contribute.</p>

<p>their and there, homophones,homonyms, whatever they are, are popular words to confuse. stupid broken english system.</p>

<p><em>edit</em></p>

<p>what do you mean going crazy? i only wrote “their” when i guess it should have been there, once. maybe who you should direct your over exaggerated, lame reply to is ryan, he’s the one 0/2. even still it’s not like its a paragraph of habitual use of the word. go fly off a cliff.</p>

<p>LOLOL^</p>

<p>and here’s my contribution: my dad told me that law schools tend to “fudge the numbers” when it comes to the employment stats of their students. maybe because employment is a big part of rankings? idk. i feel like i should do more research on this topic though…eventually…</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>^thank you redo.</p>

<p>damn that sounds crucial then. ill just stick with dentistry.</p>

<p>Hey guys, what career will allow me to perform with mediocrity because I can’t imagine having to beat out other people for jobs that pay ridiculous amounts of money.</p>

<p>whatever your parents do.</p>

<p>My uncle graduated from Seton Hall Law and was very successful, having his own general practice in the area and knowing personally a lot of state officials, county judges, politicians, etc. </p>

<p>But later on in his career he began to hate it and eventually went into private consulting and teaching Business Law classes at Rutgers. He said it wasn’t worth the aggravation and stress and didn’t regret leaving his practice.</p>

<p>According to my Bio major friends, Dentists’ have the lowest job satisfaction and quality of life. Google Dentist and job satisfaction and you’ll find a bunch of reports.</p>

<p>Just a reminder, all: If you think chasing money will bring you happiness, you should think twice.</p>

<p>^Agreed. I know lawyers and dentists who do what they do for the wrong reasons and don’t make a lot of money. On the other hand, I know people who are artists who are really rich. You can only control so much. If you do what you love and you’re great at it, it will work in your favor eventually. </p>

<p>And to the person who threw out the statistics about dentists. I don’t think you should use generalizations to determine your career choice. Always remember that a group of people could never represent a whole. My dentist freaking loves her job.</p>

<p>That is all. UCKittyChen, stop worrying too much! You’re probably fine. :)</p>
