[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't oversell debate as the hot ticket for future lawyers, even trial lawyers. Plenty of those pompous popinjays in my top law school, but most of them went into corporate or finance. Being a former debate champion does, however, give you a top-notch reputation as an a-hole--you can spot them a mile away. [/quote] My closest policy debate peers from college are now early retired following a startup exit or in venture capital, finance, or the law. In the law, they are 50/50 in transactional and litigation. None are a holes unless you run into one of the litigators in court. I'm in transactional and have an opportunity to refer out quite a bit of litigation matters and I only send them to former debaters. [/quote]
