[quote=Anonymous]1987 BA - it's an Ivy, and almost everyone who wasn't a complete blow-off had at least something, and essentially all of those who were employed had FT, full-bens positions.  Again, this is an Ivy.  People I knew just a few completely meaningless rungs down the name-ladder had much, much less fortune.

1990 JD - a bad, local law school.  A good 75% graduated without work, and most of them had no prospects of any kind.  Multiple loan defaults and personal bankruptcies ensued from 90 to 97.  I suspect that this situation persists and is the permanent-normal for lawyers not from the top 2-3 dozen schools.

2011 BA - Two neighbors, both attractive and energetic and very capable.  These are people I would consider hiring.  One, from a relatively good state school, no debt, female college jock, very observant, near-native fluency in a foreign language (not Spanish).  She had a FT, full-bens job shortly after graduation and is still in it.  Another, very smart but a little less on paper, is basically a long-term office temp.
