[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dh makes what 'these lawyers' that are always on here bragging about make.  They think every other profession is a piece of sh*t and must be low-paying.  FWIW, it ain't so hard to get a law degree.  They are a dime a dozen.  I work in a scientific field where our agency pays for law school.   Countless engineers, biotech, chemists, etc. who have gone nights to GW, Georgetown, American law, etc. and were top of their class and passed Bar right away.  They joke about how much easier it is then their own field.  I get sick of the DC-lawyer attitutde that permeates this board.[/quote]

I think DCUM needs a list of stipulations.  On a thread a couple months back it was fairly "established" and "agreed" that engineering and other technical/science degrees were much harder/more work than what it took to obtain a law degree.  I remember the thread because I almost failed out of a second tier engineering school (not really but not stellar either) and went on to graduate 3rd in my law school class at a top 20 law school -- and never missed any sleep.  Law school was a breeze compared to engineering.  [/quote]

I think I started that one after reading boastful after boatful BigLaw big-mouth going on and on about how wonderful they were.  I agree.  It's a little known fact for us scientists.  Actually, the analytical mind of scientists is one of the reason they excel at law/find it easy.  Chemists make great cooks too.[/quote]

The problem with scientists is a lack of social skills that they can use in business.[/quote]

This is a poor stereotype.  Signed, an IP lawyer (with a phD and JD)[/quote]

Nope. I work with tons of PH.Ds who can't write a one page explanation of something in layman's terms and don't understand business nuances whatsoever.[/quote]

I work with a ton of lawyers that are the same way. [/quote]
