note to wannabe lawyers: firms like this Cravath only interview from the top 10 percent or so of all law school grads, meaning those from the top 20 schools who did well, and maybe a very few top students from lesser schools.

The Starbucks experience will come in handy after the bar.

even scarier than getting bar results is after you pass and you discover that law school is a scam and that there are no jobs or solo slots for about half of all law school grads, and then you remember that you gave up 3 years of your life and went 100K dollars in debt for this....

'Iowa had an 87.4% employed at graduation statistic last year.

=====

that employment stat sure sounds like a Big Old Lie
I do not believe that 87 percent of all iowa law school grads had jobs at graduation.

These law schools lie and lie and lie, all so they can make more money, mo money mo money.

These law schools need to be investigated to see if the banks that make the student loans are paying the law school admins to inflate the employment stats so that more students will enroll.

Are we still pretending that most law school grads got job offers? Even though we know that the vast vast vast majority did not get a job offer as a lawyer and are therefore working for their rich relatives or working at starbucks (if they did not have rich relatives) or working at the jobs they had before law school?

Why do you go on playing this little game?

gotta maintain that critical racial and cultural diversity that allows Capital to divide and conquer the populace.

Otherwise, with a united labor front, Capital will have to pay more for Labor. And that is regular tragedy.
