Malishka is right, at T14’s 50% of the graduating class goes into BigLaw after graduation starting at $130k, and the majority of the other 50% that don’t are either interning to be inhouse, or entering the public sector for loan forgiveness. If you go to a crappy law school you will NOT get a job at Cravath, end of story. It’s not a matter of if you work hard enough, they simply will not look at third tier law school graduates. Even after school, you can’t hope to “climb the corporate ladder” in hopes of eventually being hired by Cravath, or Wachtell etc., they never make lateral hires, and focus entirely on associates straight from law school. Last year Cravath did actually make a lateral hire, but it was the first one in 60 years… “Lawyers are a dime a dozen so I can see how having a good degree would help,” wake up, there’s 350 million people here, every degree is a dime a dozen.
