<p>It sounds entirely prudent and reasonable. Your disbelief sounds to me like you’re ignorant of the state of the legal market. In that case, what makes you think you should be giving advice? Go spend some time on [Law</a> School Transparency](<a href=“http://www.lawschooltransparency.com/]Law”>http://www.lawschooltransparency.com/) looking at employment outcomes as you go down the USNWR rankings.</p>

<p>Did you really just ask a 0L, a sophomore no less, to distinguish between a desire for civil defense work and corporate work? Most law students can barely make these distinctions. What makes you think a teenager can do better?</p>

<p>Complete nonsense. Law schools do not do a better job for one field rather than others. The only exception being tax LLMs (but still not JDs). Law schools all give basically the same curriculum, which is one reason why employers care a lot about which school you went to (it’s one of the only two standards they have, the other being your grades).</p>
