also make sure you get excellent grades dude. I've got a friend who was in AFROTC and he didn't get an EA because his GPA wasn't high enough, and he has a 3.4. All cos he's not majoring in something technical.
have a 3.83 so far this last semester, i think i'm in decent shape

meh
I get why so many people hate law, but that doesnt mean that I agree with em.
Law can be very interesting.

So many people hate law school, but most of those people just think you need to read old cases and memorise the law.

laws concepts can be interesting, but the practice very often is not (as my friends would have you believe)

it's also incredibly competitive (in england) and costs a shit-load of money to get qualified with very little chance (statistically) of ever landing a job

therefore i'd say "no ty" to paying £40,000 to go to school and remember references to authority like a parrot to then end up unemployed

The practise of it not being interesting and the stiff competition all depend on the job.
Most people that study law want to be a lawyer (i was no exception) and yes, its very competative. You have to work your ass off during an unpayed internship, competing with many others, to land a high-pay job, but this doent go for every law firm.

In the Netherlands, law students are the few students that can always get a job here, no matter how fucked up the job market is.

As for the work being boring, a lawyers work can be very intersting, but this depends on the case and what you personally find interesting. I hated financial law, but loved criminal law.

have a friend going up to the bar from one of the top law colleges in the country, already signed by one of the Big Three, having qualified with a First in Jurisprudence from oxford's top college for law (of which he was the president-elect during his time). he hates the career and its method already and is only in it, predictably, for the money. you're not telling me anything new. i don't see the attraction in law, unless you want a bentley or something and are willing to bore yourself to death with long lists of case memorisations all day.

I'm with Uzique on this one, I wouldn't wanna be a lawyer unless I was handling cases like you see on SVU or A Few Good Men. I hear a lot of your time is spent outside of the courtroom and is generally just blah.

Anyway, almost certain I got a 4.0 this semester

finray you're actually wrong. what you're reading there is a quotation, not a quote.

I was trying to find a way of saying it that would sound condescending, I felt Ted did him too just justice, Teddy was over the top.

he called himself Teddy, and despite coming from a wealthy background, fancied himself a 'man of the people'. . .

"Teddy" was an endearing nickname for him, most people here call him that

if it's not a Top 20, no. There's a glut of lawyers right now, the only ones that get decent jobs are those who went to the top 20.

it's a decisive difference that makes your entire little bitch-rant look misguided and plain wrong. it's the reason your friends are right and you are, categorically, wrong. so who cares? uuum. if you care enough to try and show us how 'stupid' your friends are in some petty little facebook 'troll' attempt, i care enough to tell you that you're being a fucking retard.
