Here's an interesting post back from October 2012 about law schools in the U.S. I just wanted to post this to dispel a myth about "law school" and "making it!"

oh absolutely, when we had the discussion on health care back in 09. School tuition was one of the points i always bring up. It is not just the health insurance company that is jacking the price of health care but the whole system. The schools, the pharmaceutical companies, the hospital and the insurance company. Tacking one of the problems isn't going to solve the rest.

If you have a disease that is common, then it is likely the cure will not be as expensive. If you have one that is deadly but happen one in a million. Good luck. Only way a cure exists is it was discovered by accident and not a research project, then expect to pay through the anus for it after. Another problem with Law/Medical school is a HUGE % of their budget actually goes into University overhead, particularly to subsidize majors that lack huge endowments or expensive (Classic history, Ancient literature, and in certain cases, some engineering majors that are highly equipment intensive) One law dean commented he would dance nude in the street if he can get 10% of his institutions charged to students, put that in prospective, the actual cost of Law degree at his school should be less than $16,000 for 3 years!

Of course, it's all about who you know as well. Law is very much a family/friends business.

You know, I'd like to ask non-American posters what they think of the overall situation. I assume there is a distinct fear that extremist elements have taken over this country which would be a threat to other nations as well. In your view, how has the shift been for the past few years? What would be something you would not want to happen at any cost?

When Mao came to power, he accused the College Professors in China to be vanguards of "right wing" capitalist forces, and many schools were burned, professors were humiliated, stoned to death or imprisoned. It became a lost generation. We Chinese know how it worked out. Believe me, you guys don't need a repeat here no matter what you think of "Ivy tower left-elitism" |

Oh dear, what strategy is that? Then again .. $35k x 12 = $420,000 a year split between 3 people ($140K) doesn't seem like a lot, especially after taxes.. Now if it is scalable ..

For us, that would definitely be the GOP that encourages such behavior. There is no doubt that Democrats partake in such idiocy, but the GOP is frequently the active one in defining their own definition of common sense and morality, and the one size fits all concept, of which alternate narratives are not acceptable. And of their Right narrative, they don't need to prove anything or be held accountable to anyone-- pure blind faith. They can be adequately summarized as populist fearmongers that prey on the insecurities of people. It is smart to create enemies out of nowhere, to make people paranoid and think that the fearmonger is the only one they can trust. That type of person I despise the most, because they can do far more damage than a bunch of pretentious liberals. Neocons are the scum of the earth, and lumping conservatives in with them just makes it even more insulting.
