[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no regrets.  I had a scholarship to a T14 where I met my husband and some great friends. Loved clerking, toughed it out a few years in Biglaw, stressful but manageable and I saved up some $.  Transitioned to government and now I have good work-life balance and make &gt;$200k doing interesting work.

I think the trick is to only go if you can go to a top school.  Otherwise it's too risky.[/quote]

Does government really care if you went to a top school? They hire people from online schools all the time.[/quote]
The ABA does not accredit online law schools. [/quote]

I mean the people they hire for management or tech and who earn over 150k dont usually have a degree from a top school or even a school that is known

Only veterans get hired with online school degrees these days. Veterans preference doesn’t apply to attorney hiring. The fed lawyers who went to schools outside the T14 were usually top of their class or graduated before 2009.[/quote]
