Can you think of any? Some jobs may start as all hard skill, but I can't think of any field where advancement doesn't become more about soft skills the higher up you go. [/quote]

No one is schmoozing their way their organic chemistry or the LSAT.   Try something that requires some serious credentials if you are capable and motivated to get them [/quote]

Yeah, referencing the LSAT doesn't really hold water...it's like saying try schmoozing the SATs.  The LSAT is a test.

Law is really no different from banking.  If the CEO of a large client of Big Law has their kid going to a #50 law school, guarantee that kid still finds his/her way into their summer associate program.

Also, the lawyers making the big bucks are the relationship lawyers that can actually land clients.  You need to know how to work your connections and network (oh and have large cohorts of both to get to that level).  Lawyers to do the work are a dime-a-dozen. [/quote]
