Damn Brehs, I'm getting overwhelmed in my field of study :noah:

[Kilgore Trout]

Engineering is where the moneys at

all these uppity lawyers aint touching engineers...

Its hard to get a good job in engineering if you live in a big city though. Most manufacturing happens in the middle of nowhere.

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

noticed that its usually the modestly cerebral posters that dabble in the more laborious career choices...


like y'all some smart dumb fukks.


(and i say that with all my heart)

What major are you taking where the classes are so hard ?



I ask this because if you're that serious about law school, you can major in bullshyt as long as your gpa is high

 

[filial_piety]

Stick with it if you have the drive and want to go to a top law school. Otherwise, choose something else. Legal Zoom is replacing lawyers anyway.

 

[Ricky Church]

nobody said that shyt was gon' be easy

 

[Ooh Marty]

I should say fukk it and go for paralegal

I know 2 paralegals that are making some decent money

Champ is right.. you won't get a high paying job even if you manage to get through law school

Go back to business administration, get a good GPA, take the GMAT, get an MBA. You're actually kinda at an advantage as a black woman, that's an attractive demographic for MBA programs and companies looking to hire.

Just my two cents. You'll make more $ doing business admin., with higher likelihood of success, and most likely easier academically

 

[AAKing23]

My ultimate goal is to be a lawyer too, but I'm not banking on that happening for sure


I'm majoring in economics right now because ther's much more options available to me if I don't go to law school

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

what year are u; if you're a freshman u have plenty of time to switch. But any major that has the potential for a lucrative in demand job will be tough.

 

[#1 pick]

Im aware of it trust


I dedicate 2 hrs for studying and research everyday and im still kind of struggling

But ure right, im going to stick to it.

Just 2 hours? If you want to be a beast, you need more than 2 hours.

my original field was bus. Admin. And I have 4 semesters under my belt in that field already.....hmmm

 

[SouthernBelle]

Stick it out (or switch back to business admin). Don't go the paralegal route because you will end up wishing you had completed your full studies later on.

 

[Costanza]

Stick it out with law in my oppinion... Business administration will most likely lead you to a career of either sales or executive assistance...

there's a big misconception that all you can do with a degree or associates in law is go on to become a lawyer... there are alot of high paying jobs especially contract work that goes out specifically to people with undergrad and associates degree in law related fields... and its much more interesting work than business admin... you should look into it.

 

[brick james]

If you want a job in the field for more than the paycheck and the prestige, then stick it out. if not, and you can't get into a t14 law school, then might as well do something else because you're paychecks gonna suck for a while in a non prestigious position.

 

[-InFeRnO-]

i was thinking of making the switch from business admin (gonna choose the finance stream) to criminology

real hesitant though.. i doubt i'll do it
