thanks i guess, i don't care about the degree i just want a job and the degree was a means to an end. anyhow, sucks that you'll be taking all those tests but at least once you pass you'll be done with tests . good luck with that and i'll see you later |
Well that's the only reason anyone goes to school. I don't care about either of my degrees, i just wanted a good job.

Oh, cool, Law School! Still an option that I keep thinking about, as something to do with my English B.A. Good luck with your exams and party hard, so you get it all out of your system |
Here's my advice on that topic. Definitely don't go to law school unless you're 100% sure you want to be a lawyer. If you have any doubts about it absolutely DO NOT GO, unless you can get into Columbia, NYU, Stanford, Yale, Harvard, etc.... (because there are so many opportunities that come with graduating from these schools). to get into these schools you need a ridiculous LSAT score, think at least 95th percentile. Definitely don't go to law school because you didn't want to get a job yet, or wanted to go back to school, etc...
Also, make sure you're writing skills are flawless; being an english major helps, but the professors still manage to rip your work apart. Writing skills are the MOST important thing in law school, working out the logic is much easier.
Lastly, it's hard to get that six figure job unless you're either at a top school (see the schools above), or top ten percent of your class.
with that said, it's definitely the most academically rigorous thing i've ever encountered.
