[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I care when women go to college and don't use their degrees.  They got into a school and took away from a student who may have really wanted to go there.  [/quote]

Ok troll, you're taking up electricity with your misogynist posts that someone else could be using right now. [/quote]

:lol: 
So true.  The ignorance is astounding.

I’m a new poster and I totally agree with pp. The number of women that I know with fancy law degrees that they don’t use - and never really planned to use - is just gross. There are many people - most of them from lower socioeconomic backgrounds than these women - who could’ve made something professionally of themselves with these degrees. One example is a mother to elementary school age kids that literally makes puffy paint decor for camp bunks. That she sells online. Good thing your parents spent 200 K on law school![/quote]

What an idiotic premise.  Do you actually think someone got shafted from law school because another woman (or man???) "took their place"?  Give us all a break.  How many people with law degrees ultimately do something totally different professionally?  Or any degree, for that matter?  I know the field I went into had nothing to do with my actual degree.  And now I SAH - but guess what?  Life is long and at some point, I'll be using my college degree and/or prior experience to return to work.  Amazing, right?  And your friend who makes "puffy paint décor"??  What a weird anecdote to trot out.  As if this one woman exemplifies all others who take time off from work to SAH.  Please, grow up and get a clue.[/quote]

I work with underprivileged girls. If you don’t see how going to a fancy school that could be life-changing for them and then staying home is incredibly selfish and reeks of privilege, then I can’t help you. But might as well step on them on your way up, right?[/quote]

It was life changing for me.  I practiced for a long time. Now I stay home. The school I attended gave me a full ride and I had the highest LSAT score in my 300 person class. I don’t feel selfish at all for staying home. Totally ridiculous. [/quote]
I'm glad you consider your children to be your priority. I wish more parents would.[/quote]

This is such a ridiculous post. Absent there being a public reporting of people's LSAT scores - surprise there isn't -- this poster is making things up.

I feel like I really don't care how people arrange their lives. I do wish there was more support for working parents but I think there is an undercurrent of F-U, you made bad decisions and can't afford to be home full-time and why should I pay for your bad choices when my awesome ones allowed me the time to enjoy my children without working at all.

It's that thread and undercurrent that sucks, honestly. Most people work because they HAVE to. Most people would love to take time off when their kids are small but can't afford it.

I wish we'd stop the SAHM/WOHM debates because it's just a distraction to keep society from actually supporting all parents even those who can't afford to be home full-time the right to get paid leave to be there and recover after having children. [/quote]

My school absolutely reports LSAT scores. They give the range, median, mean, 25th% and 75th% by year. They like to show upward trends. [/quote]
