[QUOTE="RLR, post: 271040, member: 486"] I apologize for derailing this thread & wish I didn't post what I did last night. My intent was not to offend or scapegoat, but to stand up for my generation. We get bashed all the time, and what i often read isn't reflective of my experience. No trying to start a debate, but to clean up a few lingering ambiguities: [USER=913]@DrJacket[/USER] I have no respect for Vad Lee. And I agree with you – Paul Johnson is as honest and as straight a shooter as they come. Sometimes I think this works against GT’s program, but I sure as hell respect CPJ for being an honest man. . . even if I disagree with him re: the nature of my generation. [USER=2492]@18in32[/USER] is correct about the nature of law school. In that way, my post was misleading. I can’t complain about the money I’m making now. To be clear though, I knew the nature of the legal profession before I went to law school. I worked for a top firm for several years. Where everyone saw a declining labor market, I saw inefficient firm structure and the opportunity to disrupt. Also, I didn’t go to law school for the money. A finance + CS skill-set was in demand, even during the great recession.
