Assume 5th year, 34 y.o. and single by the time loans are paid off. |

What was the point of going to law school and working at a firm if all you were going to do was pay off loans? You should make some money for yourself, especially if you are 34. I'd stick it out.

Date: November 20th, 2012 11:14 PM Author: yellow elite fat ankles center Not really. Started law school at 26. I think the median for my class was 24-25. The years add up, bro. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2119377&forum_id=2#22086865) |

Date: November 20th, 2012 11:12 PM Author: yellow elite fat ankles center Graduated from law school at 29. That was maybe 1-2 years above median for my class. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2119377&forum_id=2#22086851) |

Date: November 20th, 2012 11:13 PM Author: Clear temple puppy I'd stay on the BIGlaw train until you get kicked off or find a SWeet inhouse job, dooder. As noted above, you need to get some $$$ for your troubles.
godspeed. |

Date: November 20th, 2012 11:17 PM Author: yellow elite fat ankles center Depends. Very cyclical and not predictably so. Right now I'm sitting on my ass billing a steady 160 a month, enjoying my nights and weekends. June/July/August I billed 300+ and almost quit without notice on multiple occasions. And you never know when it's going to hit. Sucks. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2119377&forum_id=2#22086882) |

Date: November 20th, 2012 11:13 PM Author: yellow elite fat ankles center Fucking sucks. I'm not 34 yet. Just will be by the time the loans are paid off. I don't regret starting law school at 26 instead of 22 because frankly I'd have been a fucking disaster in law school at 22 or BIGLAW at 25. But man... the idea of being 34 and just back to where I was at 22 really fucking sucks. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2119377&forum_id=2#22086860) |

You learn a lot as a mid level and after your fourth or fifth year in Biglaw you are employable basically forever. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2119377&forum_id=2#22086911) |

Date: November 25th, 2012 9:55 AM Author: Pink heady garrison I am in same boat, managed to pay off all my debt in first year (70k), and saved 80k this year. I hate my job so much but will bend over and take it in the ass for another 2 years or so. By then I should have almost 4 years of biglaw experience with hopefully 200k saved. I should be set for that bigfed or low stress 120k inhouse gig.
I am lucky that I landed on my feet after the crash, I know many people did not. |
