Going to Law School was the BEST thing I've ever done

I know things are rough out there, but the bottom line is if you are at a T6 you will get a job if you have personality and just hustle (a little effort is needed ITE). B Schools have had 80% employment rates for a while and those ppl are mostly doing fine. Something like 80% of CCN's are employed which is still solid. Sucks for people who got laid off, but I managed to survive 3 rounds of layoffs and got full bonus every year. Things have been good and I would do it all over again. There, something positive for the Board. |

I think if you're smart enough to go to a top school (and by "top" I don't mean top 100, I mean like Yale or Harvard, and the next 10 schools or so, so long as you stay in their respective 'zones of influence'), you're probably smart enough to succeed in almost any field.

Have you not learned from law schools that they fucking inflate these numbers? |
