[quote=Anonymous]Not my whole career, just my choice of graduate schools in the early-1990s. I went to a mid-tier law school and after receiving top 1L grades, I had an opportunity to transfer. I chose to stay put in order to hold onto my 1L grades - which in retrospect was a mistake. I ended up graduating at the top of my class (not #1, but close), so my fear of starting over at a much higher ranked law school was completely misplaced. At the time however, there wasn't nearly as much data available to help in making my decision (the Internet was just being born). That decision notwithstanding, I did end up as a VP, Legal in a Fortune 100 company with BIGLAW equity partner-level compensation. So I am grateful for the life that I have now. Yet the path to that role would have been MUCH easier had I chosen to transfer (but perhaps it was the struggle that drove me, so I'll never know). Reminds me of the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Tapestry".[/quote]
