Thomas M. Cooley / Re: First Term at Cooley
« on: August 26, 2010, 10:36:37 AM »
Good morning guys.
To begin, I'm not a staff member.
I have my own tutoring business with many Cooley students, I am an Alumni and I just want to reinforce the point that many people are struggling in this economy and unless you have connections it is not easy to find a job. I know guys who are out in the field fro 5 years from some pretty big named schools and have done well and are now unemployed because of cutbacks. The point to stress is that I don't care where you go to school things are not as easy as they used to be but they will get better in time for people across the board.
Cooley, as any School, should be doing more for their graduates and while services are offered to help students such as Career Services etc., I cannot say that Cooley goes above and beyond but it does give a great education that is far more practical than most of their competitors and I can say that because I walked right out of Cooley and was handling major situations for the wrong firm while many friends from other schools were not as prepared. That is not to slight the other schools this is simply to say Cooley did throw some practical stuff our way and should not be slighted so much for ALL aspects.
Bigs, with no disrespect, I have an issue directed towards your analogy about Kobe and Luke Walton.
To say WE (3t/4t) are Walton and the 1T i Kobe is bothersome because many of us have beat those big named schools in court and while I understand you analogy there seems to be an image issue where the Harvard's of the world believe they are better than the Cooley students of the world. They may come from a school with a better reputation but that doesn't mean they are better at what they do and I would hope all Cooley students had a chip on their shoulder about the image of the school.
