best thing I ever did was remove my TTT JD from my resume. No need to ever explain my poor decision making ever again.

For my current dream job, ì even removed my BS from my resume. Probably wouldn't have been hired if it had been included.

No. It never comes up. A few people know, but I'm good at my job, so it's never an issue

I have been tempted a few times when watching the news to say something like "that guy was in my cig pro class" a few times, as even my TTT has a few notable graduates on TV often.

it's not that hard, man. you just make yourself known by meeting as many people as possible just like you would in sales.

meet people at the gym, join organizations, get involved in local politics, reach out to facebook friends, let family members know that you're now a lawyer and practice xyz law, meet other lawyers and see if they're willing to give you some of the work they don't want or don't have time to do, etc. come on, man...the shit is not that difficult to figure out.

if you do the above for a minimum of 20 hours a week, i guarantee you'll be well on your way to starting a successful practice. i'm not saying you'll end up making a shitload of money, but you should be able to make a nice living if you do what i listed above and continue to do it on a weekly basis (in addition to being a competent lawyer).

well then....i guess you're shit out of luck.

starting your own firm is more about sales than it is about lawyering. a lawyer who graduated last in his class, but is a great salesman, could easily end up pwning the fuck out of the aspie who graduated #1 in the class and landed biglaw (in terms of career earnings).

I was in same position some time ago. Chose lower T-1 school with full scholly over T-14 schools. Graduated median and thought my looks and aggressive personality would get me jerbs. Moved to a city way away from school and where I had no ties and couldn't even get DA type jobs. I was devastated and determined to try my best and threw out my shingle. It was tough, but I managed to pay my bills most of the time. I didn't think that I was ever going to get rich or even UMC doing what I was doing, so I bailed on law altogether and moved back to Texas in another field. I would have liked to have been able to make the money that I make now, and still be in law, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Hope things work out for you.

Idk a supreme crippling depression and despair to the point it's a challenge to get of bed in the morning, let alone start a law business from scratch?

Also a complete lack of the self-confidence and self-worth required to do such a thing

They're some seriously wretched cases, but shutting them out of the legal profession is probably the kindest thing to do in the grand scheme of things, they will be happier doing literally anything else

Imagine being perceived as an absolute fuckup retard by everyone else in the office from top to bottom, while still carrying a tiny little glowing ember if pride deep down that reminds you you were once in the same position as them, and are likely smarter than many

recipe for a fucking office mass murder suicide if you ask me, No JDs please indeed
