Law School Horror Stories

[lskinner]

<p>

If you start out as a contract attorney or something, biglaw firms are going to throw your resume in the trash.

</p>

<p>I agree, and I should have been clearer. If you start out at a small law firm, it will not lead to anything prestigious like BIGLAW. On the other hand, you will still have the opportunity to build yourself up by bringing in your own clients and/or going out on your own. </p>

<p>

You’d still have to consider the opportunity cost of law school. You lost 3 years of paid work

</p>

<p>I agree with this too, but losing 3 years as a twenty-something is not a disaster in the scheme of things.</p>
