As I finish up law school (graduating in Jan 2010) and look towards a life outside of sales (its all I really know, besides some minor jobs in law) I am now thinking to myself was it worth it. It was hard work, but I knew that coming in. I didn't have undergrad student loans(thanks dad), but I have killer student loans now. The loans are well over $100K (I don't want to say how much because I might cry)! Its going to be like a second mortgage. It was sick how much they raised tuition in such a short time period! It was highway robbery!
With sales job I make in a bad year (like this year) $60-65K; in a moderately good year I make $80K and my best year I have made $140K (some of the best months of my life)! I go to a good school its not Northwestern Level, but its still highly regarded. I am close (but not in ) the top 25% of my class. Nevertheless jobs in law are few and far between and it looks now I would probably going to make less in law (at least starting out) than in sales!
Hope its worth it, because the rewards don't look as sweet as they did 4 1/2 years ago when signed up for this gig!
NOTE: If Obama comes out with a plan to help me with my student loans, then I will official become part of Oba***ama Fan Club! Hell if Pelosi came out with a program I might worship her! Sorry but I will sell out for that cause!
May I offer some career advice? Look into a career in law enforcement, one which offers early retirement (3% @ 50 is what I received, plus health insurance for life). There are local, state and federal agencies many of which offer this benefit. Salaries at the Supervisor level and above are all (at least here in California) above $100,000 per year.
If your fit, pass the extensive background investigaton and meet the physical, mental and psychological standards (only 4 in 100 do) you won't be sorry.
Yep. That's just what California needs - more LEOs in it for the wrong reasons.
point of order: It's "you're", not "your" fit.
Oh and what is an 'investigaton'? Is that a really heavy investiga?
Word of advice - if you are going to highlight typos in others' posts, it would be advisable to ensure your own are error-free. Doncha think?
Shall we continue to highlight the odd typo in each other's posts or shall we drop the pathetic childishness and focus on issues?
Mea culpa. I admit to making spelling and other misstakes quite often. I usually proof and edit before posting but sometimes I screw up. Now, I also admit I'm not a professional writer, as are you; I hold you to a higher standard. That said, I will limit my 'attacks' to your reasoning and critical thinking skills - given that you're a fringe conservative that should be easy.
