[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get what he's saying in some respects and it sounds like he graduated at a really bad time - as of 2009 when his blog started he was a "recent grad" of Drake, so he graduated along with the economic downturn, which really sucks.

However even if you graduate from a 3rd or 4th tier law school, provided your grades are at all decent and you pass the bar (which I get is a tall order for students from the super borderline schools that admit just about everyone),[b] aren't you pretty much guaranteed stable, steady employment at, like, an insurance company or one of the big legal publishing houses (Lexis-Nexis) or some other large corporation? [/b]No, you're not going to be raking in 160k a year right out of school like you would at biglaw. But it's a stable, white-collar career with some room for advancement and probably better work-life balance than a big firm. I don't know, you could do worse imo. People graduate from undergrad with 150k+ in student loan debt and way worse career prospects. [/quote]

hahahaaaa. good one, PP.[/quote]

Different person here.  Granted, I haven't looked. But are jobs with Lexis/Nexis and the like really that much in demand that law grads from 3rd tiers needn't apply?   Just curious.[/quote]

It's not that they're so in demand that lower-tier grads needn't apply. It's that these jobs are scarce, period.[/quote]
