My post-law school salary= $40K if I were in the same career. 10 years down the road? Maybe $50K. Even a T3 would give me a quicker ROI than 15 years. I guess for you it makes sense then.The median salary for people with a bachelor's degree in the US is $38K for women and around $51K for men. I'd say it makes sense for most people since coming out of law school you'll probably make that much to start. You are just out of touch with reality.

That nincompoop thinks he really has to pay the $1,700 monthly student loan payments. That's just the man trying to scare you. You don't have to really pay that sh*t. Throw that bill in the motherfucking trash.

If it isn't a big firm, it's not a job right? For the 794th time - we know that if you want to be an associate at Wachtell you need to go to a top school. Stop beating the dead horse, you have nothing new to add to a discussion - ever.You're still not getting it now are you.If somebody is ok with an approximately 15 year time to ROI going in, good for them. But the point is that it will take a looooooong time to get back to the place you would have been without law school.I don't get in to a top school, I go to a startup after doing my time in corp america, I'm not in any hole in any case.Looooser alertLook, you don't want it bad enough. Let me tell you how I got my sweet twelve (12) dollar ($) an hour job. I was balls to the wall. I went into it with the attitude that I would suck a herpetic male private part for an offer. I wanted it bad. I handed out resumes in the lobby to get my job. You can't just expect oh see eye to hook you up. You have to want it.

Quote from: plex on May 05, 2007, 03:04:58 PMThose top 5 you listed, if they go into law, get a significant starting salary boost over other law students, at least if they go into IP law. As far as I can see, apart from one firm in Atlanta, you get $160k across the board, there's no boost in salary to engineers. Does it show up in bonuses?

Quote from: plex on May 05, 2007, 03:10:27 PMIP lawyers make more in every city, across the board, you would have to search hard for a place where they are not payed more, either at the small, medium or big level. 160K is in the high end of biglaw in NY, for a normal lawyer, it is higher for an IP lawyer there. Perhaps Atlanta is mirroring NY.Huh?LA just moved to $160k.SF and SD will be at $160k soon.DC won't be able to hold at $145k much longer either.Chicago is bound to follow Kirkland's lead.Most major markets will be at $160k for '08.Your comment is interesting though, I was unaware that biglaw pays IP more. At best I thought they occasionally got a bigger signing bonus, but the same salary structure.
