[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you get a good undergraduate degree (i.e Econ at Williams or Amherst, Wharton undergrad) you won’t need to get another degree. [/quote]

Maybe for Econ but not true for a lot of majors.

Also, on this board we lump law and medicine into “grad school”. Helpful to remember before you insult people’s choices here. [/quote]

Law degrees out outside T14 are useless.[/quote]

There are a boatload of stinking rich lawyers out there who graduated from local bottom-tier law schools. [/quote]

They're smart and they had a plan.  It's a harder row to hoe, but if you're entrepreneurial, you can absolutely do this. [/quote]

There seems like there was a time that if one managed to graduate with a law degree, they could get hired at a range of places or hang out a shingle and make a good living, even if not a swell one. Alas, that hasn't been the case for quite awhile - most folks don't realize it is now a harder row to hoe and has been for about 20+ years. And, in reality, most folks are not entrepreneurial.

Our parents and grandparents could probably succeed in law with a degree from any diploma mill. That's just not the reality any more.  [/quote]

And still, the idea that anything below “t14” is waste of money is absurd. Not everyone wants to defend corporations and work 80 hours a week. [/quote]
