Uh, what about her? I believe that she is in law school now…and given that she has a 4.0 from Harvard, likely a top law school.



Watch the video again. The woman from the video is a Harvard grad, with a psychology degree, who graduated with 4.0 GPA. She couldn’t find a job, so she ended up working a retail job, while studying for LSAT. I suspect the very reason she considered going to law school in the first place was due to lack of job options after college. (just like 90% of other law students)

And, no, she ended up at Pepperdine Law School, which is a tier 2-3 law school, and quite frankly, anyone would be very lucky to just get a 60k/yr legal job coming out of a school like that nowadays.

You see, many, MANY people in good ole’ USA end up getting completely screwed because they chose a silly major in college. Even some of the smarted people of the generation end up getting screwed.

Just within my social circle, I know hundreds who are un(der)employed, and I am only talking grads of top schools. (I went to top 15 undergrad, and I attend a top 6 law school) One guy I know from my frat, who graduated with a biology degree, couldn’t get a job for a year after graduation. He ended up taking a job driving trucks. One girl I knew - who graduated with a government degree - couldn’t get any jobs other than being a secretary or a PR assistant at complete chop shops that pay like 36k a year, no benefits, no health, etc. She ended up going to a law school. The scary thing is, I know hundreds of others like these two individuals.
