[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup it’s called special snowflake syndrome. It also explains why [b]people continue to go to law school and grad school for the humanities even though it’s been a long time since those paths led to material success for other than the top 1-5% of applicants[/b]. Everyone thinks they’ll be the one. However, going to a “bad” school with truly poor teachers isn’t a great alternative either unless you have the time and energy to teach your kid everything yourself. Most don’t. [/quote] I graduated from an Ivy League law school many years ago, and I do lots of hiring duties for my organization. When I meet young people considering law school, I tell them not to bother right now, unless they can get into a top school. Some think I am a snobbish ogre, but I am just being honest. They will graduate with a mound of debt, and dim employment prospects. It is just not worth it.[/quote]
