[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know someone who went to Cambridge for three years and then did a one year LLM at Harvard and got barred in NYC.  He got a job at one of the Uber elite firms (DPW I think but I don’t remember).    He does international banking law as a partner at some firm in Hong Kong now.

He is smarter than your kid though.  And me.  And pretty much everyone else at Cambridge and Harvard as I recall.

It doesn’t tend to work the same for mortals so if you try it you’ll want to be one of the top 2 or 3 kids in your class at Oxbridge.  But it is a path that has worked at least once.[/quote].

Btw, he wasn’t American though.  He was basically some sort of international kid.  Ethnic Chinese with perfect English that sounded slightly British to an American and slightly American to a Brit.  I forget where he grew up, multiple places I think.  Probably some Hong Kong or Singapore diaspora connections at one point.  So he didn’t make this weird plan at 18, he just decided to spend some time in the USA after dominating his classmates in the UK.  Presumably if DPW didn’t drop he would have happily gone back to London.

I gotta admit as a white guy I am just too lazy for all of that.  He can be my boss’s boss as long as I can leave work at 5:30 and drive my kids to sports practice.  We are who we are I guess.[/quote]
