Yeah and then you hit that "concrete ceiling" you saw as soon as you decided to go the trade route...to each his own though.

Remarkable how many people here are extremely uninformed about law school.

No, no one is going to give your friend who goes to a 200th-ranked law school a $150k starting salary. If you don't go to a top 14 (or a solid regional school, an examble Boston College for practicing in the New England area). The market is saturated with lawyers and only those from top schools get the big salaries that people idolize.

Also lmao at the dude naming that elite people come from Princeton Law School especially when Princeton does NOT have a law school.

I guess we're back to blaming DeBlasio for everything, hating the highly-educated populace, etc etc etc

I can confirm this, I know a recent grad from Havard and she started at $180K working at a firm in DC she had no prior contacts with

Chinatown is also getting smaller. Many Chinese have moved on to the burbs also.

It is amazing how you guys turn a discussion about law school unemployment and salaries into a racially and ethnically charged discussion every single time. Quite impressive how you guys are quick to blame anyone and everyone for your problems (and do it while incredibly off topic).

True it is an off topic point. It just happens sometime and the posts should continue on topic thereafter. I don't see this as being racially charged or blaming everyone for problems. I was actually just pointing out from the other post that area of Chinatown into Little Italy has changed a lot over the years. People have moved out of those tiny apts and into bigger and better as the generations have gone on. I don't see either post as racially charged or blaming. I'm off topic commenting back to you also.

We've addressed the "Princeton" comment, a mistake was made and correction along with apologies issued, please keep up.

Either get over it or ST*U about it. Nothing is worse than Johnny Come Lately to a thread that harp on about something that was addressed and settled several pages or posts previous.

Nothing, it was taken out of context. No need to keep on with this.

Ahahaha sounds like calling out your stupidity in that mindlessly misguided wall of text still stings a bit. Yes, please continue to post things on a profession about which you clearly do not know anything. It's really helpful for discussion!
