Date: June 25th, 2022 3:21 PM Author: Silver Vibrant Fanboi I know of ppl who 7+ years after LS were:
- cop - school teacher - wedding photographer - working in construction - teaching ESL in Asia - doing real estate - working in career services dept in a grad school - writing children's books - legal recruiter (lolzy cause like his dad was a judge) - semi professional comedian - a few who prob killed self
Needless to say, none of these ppl were maeking big money. If you don't get BIGLOL right after LS you are basically furked. The chances you end up maeking even a decent amount of money to justify wasting 3y of LS is slim. The emotional and financial damage these ppl suffered from going to LS is immense and will last their entire lives
