Law School Applications / Re: Which major is better?« on: November 09, 2005, 12:35:16 PM »
The right idea is to look beyond the application and law school. Although, an English major is great for learning such things as writing essays, proper use of the English language, literature, etc, it is not the same as what you will learn about legal writing, which is what you will use as a lawyer. If you study Accounting, you will learn that specialization is most efficient. Decide what area of law you want to specialize in, and then choose your college major accordingly. 23

English and Foreign Language were my high school majors, with a Business minor. I speak English everyday. The foreign language was useful only twice. 24
Law School Applications / Re: Which major is better?« on: November 09, 2005, 10:18:04 AM »Hi everyone There are plenty of areas of law of which the accounting degree would be considered an asset, such as tax law, banking and finance, business law, corporate law, perhaps administrative law...well, I could name plenty. (Another possibility is criminal Law, if one is interested in white collar cases...) I have an A.S. Paralegal, and earning my B.S. accounting, and also study taxation. (My reasons for studying accounting as an undergrad major started as the alternative of Business Administration, then made sense when I became more interested in taxation.) I have only recently realized the potential benefits and the correlation of Accounting and Law. Good choices. What opportunities would that English major provide? A job as an English teacher? A Finance major would provide opportunities such as banking, insurance, securities, brokerages, maybe The Fed...? 25

What am I worth at this moment? Approximately $30K to $35K of college education (including a $24K diploma) and at least another $1.5K of certificates.
I thank the U.S. Government. 28

General Off-Topic Board / Re: Girls - How do you deal with guys??« on: September 09, 2005, 08:51:32 PM »
I do not make fun of guys who cry. However, society tends to accept that females alleviate stress by crying, however males usually alleviate stress by other means. "The ladder theory is a funny, scientific explanation of how men and women are attracted to each other. It also covers such topics as why women sometimes just want to be friends but men always want sex. It is based upon many years of sociological field testing, and was first conceptualized in 1994 in Exeter, CA by Dallas Lynn with acknowledgements to Jared Whitson for his role in formalizing the theory." http://www.laddertheory.com/ |
