A guy with $170,000 in student loans who can't find a job in the legal profession is suing his law s

No that's the national average breh .

That market is over saturated period .

Like 50% of the class goes to BigLaw, or at least a SCOTUS/SCONY/DC clerkship.
At the very least, they could slide into a Bank, Accounting Firm on the legal side, or into Gov.
There's no way she should be only making 45k.
ADA and DA positions? United Nations or NATO?
Summer Associate programs should have been a focus.
A BA/BS from NYU should have been an easy enough "in" to a lucrative job.
The internship programs, especially for Black people, in NYC/Baltimore/DC are incredible.

college is a racket....

u can make money by creating your own products and services and selling them....i dont understand how ppl will work for 10 an hr selling somebody else shyt, why not sell your own shyt?

and u have other options like uber ....which i think will change the game...most jobs will be like uber in the future...where you're basically an indie contractor .....young ppl dont wanna do the office thing, its for suckas and fools

Its not a racket if you're not an idiot. There is a new class every year of students who get into lucrative jobs, internships, and fellowships.
A good GPA can get you into somewhere, its the kids who slack off and party without having well-connected parents that complain about their student loan debt and how college is too expensive.

Let's see here

Thomas Jefferson school of Law

1)US news and world ranking: Not Ranked

2) Above the Law rankings : Not Ranked

3) JD Unemployment rate at Thomas Jefferson law school ( 81 percent)

4) Average debt of students 102,840 dollars


It took me five minutes to find these numbers. He should've paid attention more

That's what I was thinking when I read that he went there.

Acquire $170,000 debt to go to a middling law school brehs

Let's keep it real doe my dude that market is t over saturated ?

Everyone isn't attending a top 15 law school .

I know someone who is going through the motions now . She just passed the bar and before passing she would have to move to make good money .

Yes we do live in the dmv by the way .

She was over qualified for a ton of jobs or simply not qualified enough .

shyt was very frustrating for her so I've seen both sides.


It wasn't about her hustle she got with her mentor and worked for him as an independent contractor . To make money while trying to pass the bar.

Hope he wins. Schools a scam. The buddy system is the best way to get ahead.

Please tell them!

if it aint tier 1 it aint worth it

plus good grades and passing the bar actually goes a long way

150k+ in debt aint bad if you're making 100k+ as the kids with good grades and go to tier 1 schools do

Honestly, this is a fallacy. A good GPA and internships.com will get you somewhere.
You can't tell me that every person who can't get a job after graduating applied to every internship and job position they were qualified for, and got rejected. It just doesn't happen.
Most were just lazy and thought they could wave their BA in Communications and their 2.9 everywhere and get a job.

If she didn't have a summer associate position lined up, a clerkship lined up, a shadowing position, or a Gov/NGO/IGO position lined up coming out of NYU as a Black person, her hustle was definitely the issue.
Was she even a member of the Black Law groups at NYU? I know for a fact they set up every Black kid who comes through and joins w/ something the first year or so.
I'm guessing she wasn't an AKA or a Delta either.

 

[Serious]

He didn't pass the Bar exam what is there to talk about? No shyt his degree is useless if he didn't pass the Bar . My boy just graduated from law school last year and he's eating good, so is everyone else from his class . All this complaining about lawyers not being able to find jobs I don't see it. If dudes like these are the ones doing the complaining it explains a lot tho

grades+internships will go far

I'm not arguing... Me personally gonna take my skills and hustle... fukk kissing ass doing free internship s

 

[Big Blue]

I understand cases like this in general. But the guy didn't pass the BAR. Of course you won't get a good legal job without being on the BAR,
