Career paths?

[slow99]

Oh, OP... work for an investment bank. More coin than the other options and the general public will have a very high opinion of your profession, lol!

[davbrucas]

Whatever you decide, work for yourself...not for someone else.

I didn't read the entire second page, so pardon me if I'm saying something that's already been covered.

I met with my divorce attorney today. He is a former bar assoc. president, top 5% family atty in TX, and has more awards and commendations than I can even list. So, he can command this type of rate and people are jumping all over themselves to pay it. That rat bastard charges $400/hr, plus a $10,000 retainer, plus court/paperwork costs. Sounds like a good career path to me if you've got the intellect. Jesus. I asked him if it came with a complimentary hooker and blow. He laughed in my face.

[slow99]

LMAO! I'm sure he sailed through.

He had to take Lvl 2 twice. Level 2 is an absolute beast. I think it had about 4000 pages of material, and the exam itself is brutal. He said it's the roughest exam he ever took... that's saying a lot. I guess I can be glad just to have that one behind me.

Sandy Leeds - "So... when you guys all take your CFA quiz here in a couple weeks..." Lol, asshole!!

Nothing to stress about, only your livelihood relies on it.

Just a little 8 hour pop quiz with pass rates in the 30% range covering 3000 pages of material... no problem at all!!

Not only that, but by the time he graduates $60,000 isn't going to be as much as it is worth now.

CFA Level 3 is this Saturday. Uggghh...

That's what I'm trying to figure out; I don't think you even get away with paying that to a Tech grad! (kidding, calm down raider rashers) And $60k is too high for a paralegal straight out of school unless his dad is just willing to overpay him.

Also, you're the worst offender of all: an undergraduate degree, an MBA, and working towards one of the more prestigious professional certifications?! You're clearly one of those people that's going to be in management because you're a liability in the trenches. Wait, no, that's everyone in management. Duh.

FUCK YOU MAN! Just kidding.

I've heard of public defenders making about $50,000 - $60,000 (previous clients, not friends of mine who went to Tech ). I also know of attorneys that make that monthly so you pretty much just have to pick the right specialization/firm as near as I can tell.

School is worthless!! Ha, the first time I read that $60k comment I didn't think he was talking about post- law school. Now that I reread it, maybe he is. Jesus, I certainly hope not, that's awful. I would have to imagine that graduates from even the shitty, lower-tiered law schools fetch way more than that.

No kidding...who the fuck would want to do that bullshit for 60K? I'm a measly engineer just a year and a half out of college making a bit more than that.

[slow99]

If this had been asked 2 or 3 years ago in Canada you'd have gotten a 3 page thread about the evils and worthlessness of college, college degrees, and the kind of people who have the audacity to attend college. There's some good advice in this thread, though.



Law school isn't cheap or easy enough to only net you $60k coming out of school.
