Hell, I had a fellow classmate incur an aggravated assault charge against a POLICE OFFICER during our 2L year and he still landed a 6 figure job....lol.
Ha, that's funny - the first lawyer I ever had said that experience with the legal system is still experience!
I've got all the old LSAT tests, and someone who recently entered law school gave me all of her books. Previously, I had just one copy that covered all topics, but she gave me like eight books that have different levels of practice for each of the individual sections. Talk about a nice gift.
I forgot I started this thread, and obviously clicked on it out of interest lol. My plans have changed, actually, regarding law school. I want to go work for either the finance/accounting department of a great company for about 4-6 years (I'm 24 right now), or even just go work for a really great company in any department for that amount of time. Then, I want to go to a truly awesome law school - not for the salary afterward, but to be surrounded by awesome minds, awesome professors, and a historically rich campus for three years. I will definitely ace the LSAT, but I need to get more mature before I can truly add value to a fantastic law school and get more than my money's worth out of the education.
I used to be concerned about making all of this money, but now I want to go to a best fit law school, even if I get into a better school. One of my friends is a 2L at Harvard, and I never thought I'd adopt his philosophy which is verbatim "I don't care if I don't pay off my debt until I'm 70 - I want to do something meaningful with my life."
