I'm leaving a cushy job (85K+ with hardly any responsibilities) to go to law school. It's become clear that new grads should not expect high paying jobs. Is anyone else having second thought about going to law school or starting to come to the realization that they are making more now than they will when they are a lawyer?

f I were you Baff, I would plan on attending Suffolk. You very well may get into UCONN but why spend your whole summer planning for something that may not happen? If you make your Suffolk plans and get off the UCONN waitlist, then you can make a descision about it. You might even be so excited about Suffolk that you decline UCONN. I think that you should just try to put it out of your mind for as long as possible.

Letter to Donald J. Polden:

Dear Dean,
Why the fahk were 16% of your 04 graduates unemployed 9 months after graduation?  This is more significant than a .1 increase in reputation, and this is why you are now in the 3rd tier.

Love,
Nick

Agreed - Isn't this the most important thing for all of us coming out of LS? If you can't even find a job, who cares what the average starting salary is?

The dean also forgot to analyze the scores of the schools around SC. Those schools probably improved much more than SC did.

I'm just kidding

I'm rooting for ya BAFF. You've hung in like a champ. Good luck in the coming months. I truly hope to see you in Hartford this fall.
