What top undergrad gives you the best chance for a top law school?

Granted, you could return to your point that all these people should not have majored in the humanities at all. I agree, and in fact, I would double-down and argue that many of them should never have gone to college at all, but instead should have learned a trade skill such as plumbing or auto repair. But that’s neither here nor there. The problem is that we now have thousands of un/under-employed humanities graduates, and the relevant question is what should they do?

<p>Perhaps they should learn those trade skills, such as plumbing or auto repair… yes, it sucks that someone who graduated from college ends up becoming a plumber or janitor, but that sure is better than being unemployed. </p>

<p>Or, perhaps pursue second bachelors in engineering, math, accounting, or nursing. As my uncle said: “If you do something that anyone else out there can do, you won’t get far.” I do believe this statement is very applicable to life and you must be willing to take certain risk and make certain sacrifices to better your life. </p>

<p>Interestingly, one guy from my high school graduated from a T-25 law school two years ago - Emory University School of Law. For one full year after law school, he was unemployed. Now, he works at a temporary agency doing document review, as a ‘temporary’ attorney. One time, he got drunk and told me with a humor: “I may be a lawyer, but I think I am worse off than a plumber. I make $hit money with no future.” Luckily for him, his parents helped pay for his law school and he had some savings to fall back on. Now, imagine people who attend a law school after taking out full loans and miss their boat on Biglaw. That prospect is truly disturbing, and I would agree with this guy that many lawyers out there are indeed worse-off than plumbers and janitors.</p>
