[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a lawyer and no have no idea if my college freshman will want to become a lawyer, but isn't this similar to what any graduate can expect when seeking a job?  Some will immediately become gainfully employed, while it may take longer for others.  Those who graduate from elite schools may have their first choice of jobs, while those who graduates from a school ranked 500 may take longer to find their place.

Either way, the likelihood is that no recent graduate, and I'd include those from undergrad and graduate schools, is going to remain in their first job for a long time.  More likely, they'll bounce around from job to job during their 20s until they find something that sticks for them.  So, why does it matter so much where you go to school unless you're aiming for a very niche career path like Wall Street, Big Law, etc.

I just think our kids should go to schools that won't put them or us in debt, where they can mature and START to figure out who and what they want to become in life.  I just feel like DCUM especially makes this more complicated than it needs to be because there is so much focus on brand names.

Again, not a lawyer so what do I know.[/quote]

Google bimodal lawyer salaries to see why that’s not entirely accurate. Law is unusually feast and famine. [/quote]
