Debt: The Silent Killer

But it’s pretty disappointing, right? It’s tough to think they wouldn’t feel like they’d just wasted three years of their lives since, really, they had.

</p>

<p>Are the Boston ADA’s making $35k wasting their educations.</p>

<p>

Not really, but you’ve chosen to ignore people who actually know what they’re talking about when they tell you that this isn’t true.

</p>

<p>No, not really, because they don’t know what they’re talking about. Again, when even a college dropout who learns basic IT skills can earn $40k a year, it’s very hard to believe that HLS/YLS grad can’t find a laid-back law job can’t earn $40k a year. For those who disagree: tell me why not? </p>

<p>

Well, no, because you’re the one who thinks an HLS grad should be perfectly content to do menial work for little pay.

</p>

<p>When did I ever say that they should be “perfectly content” with the arrangement? I simply said that it’s not that bad. Obviously, everybody would like more. But if that’s all you can get, it’s not that bad. </p>

<p>

In fact, you think they should be content to do literally nothing in exchange for the use of their school in marketing, an arrangement that has almost certainly never existed in reality.

</p>

<p>I’m quite certain it does exist in reality. After all, companies pay large sums of money for far less effective marketing. As an analogy, I can think of quite a number of IT companies who will pay large sums of money simply to “rent” people with certain IT certifications which are far easier to obtain than a HLS/YLS diploma. </p>

<p>Like I always said, if truly, you can’t find anything else, you can always resort to simply working for an admissions consulting firm that advises students on how to win admission to HLS/YLS. I think we can all agree that there are plenty of people willing to pay small fortunes for advice on how to be admitted to those schools. But those positions are obviously only available to those people who themselves graduated from HLS/YLS.</p>
