Bro, I almost responded to this then decided to just let you sit there in that ignorance and hopefully @ogc163 or someone else takes this.
LOL nah the ideas have about law school on this website are way off point, there's already been a post implying the pathway through the bar is relatively straightforward--which is extremely inaccurate.
These threads reinforce my constant emphasis on understanding the college admissions and corporate game. It seems as though many posters came up in working-class environments that emphasize "stability" and don't get that at the next level the emphasis is on "access", and I understand that perspective because I came up in a poor/working-class environment.
But as I've often discussed with my boys regarding our struggles with law school, the bar exam, and advancement at the associate/entry level there is a hard ceiling to providing checkers advice when people are playing high stakes poker games.
This discussion hits home because of my experience, along with having a 19-year-old nephew who has decided to skip his first year of college. My parents are annoyed, but I had to remind them that he doesn't have the values nor more importantly the systemic support to engage with college at this point. Government institutions underperform in their duties to prepare these young men, but many families are also at fault for maintaining mental models appropriate for working in a factory but not in an upper-middle-class complex setting.
And so, I hope jokers who shyt on college who have seeds understand the options or lack thereof that will be available for their kids in relation to college. If cats have a plan to help their kids avoid debt while acquiring a job that provides stability, then cool. But I've often seen dudes in NYC who have an anti-academic attitude push "good" civil service jobs that are subject to high degrees of randomness in regards to getting hired. Avoiding complex systems that require hard tradeoffs is going to become increasingly difficult for Gen-Z, and this thread seemingly shows that many in our community will be blindsided.
