Lawfags report in.
Is law school worth it, assuming I can get into a Top 14 school? Also I have the GI Bill so I could have most/all the tution covered.
Biggest downside I can think of is having to grit my teeth and smile through another 3 years of SJW academic indoctrination.
>ib4 just get a union blue collar trade
>assuming I can get into a Top 14 school
If so, then yes. Assuming that you can get reasonably decent grades there (avoid staying out of bottom 20-30%), you are effectively guaranteed a $180k starting salary in 3 years. For most people, there is no alternative that can provide anywhere that sort of income that is plausibly attainable. If you are interested in more than just the $$$, law school is the most natural springboard for any sort of career in politics or being a judge.
It's a good investment, against assuming you are at a t-4.
>t. t-14fag
>3 years of SJW academic indoctrination.
Also, years 2 and 3 aren't really SJW indoctrination if you don't want them to be. Especially if you are interested in doing corporate law, for example, you can take all classes that are all centered on corporate work. At the end of the day, you can’t really have SJW-tier discussions in Corporations, Mergers & Acquisitions, Bankruptcy, etc. There’s just not really any of those kinds of issues – again, assuming you choose to take those types of courses in years 2-3. Year 1 you will definitely have to deal with some SJW stuff, particularly in Constitutional Law and Criminal Law. Those were pretty brutal. But Property, Torts, and Contracts is similar to the corporate law classes I discussed above.

does this work for oldfags?
Yeah absolutely. I don’t know how old you’re talking here, but I had some people in my summer class who where 32 or 33 years old. One girl was above 35 I think. Honestly age isn’t a problem. If the law school’s are good with accepting you, then law firms will be good with taking you.
Especially if you are ex-military. Employers LOVE recruiting ex-military (and most lawfirms have some sort of military affinity group. They look out for each other hard). Plus, being a bit older than the average person in your class because you were in the military for a number of years is better than being a bit older than average because [insert whatever other reasons could apply].
Dude, explain how the GI BILL would cover law school. I think mine is up after grad school. You talking about Yellow Ribbon Fund? I''d love for my GI to cover Law
As a side note, it isn’t literally t-14 or bust. I know plenty of people at schools outside of the t-14 that got jobs at the absolute top firms (other than Wachtell…they don’t dip below Penn Law). Being at a t-14 definitely provides an added layer of security, though. But at the end of the day, if you were in the 15-30 range, and you had good reason to believe you would end up above the top 25% in your class, then it’s still probably worth it IMO.
Not grad school, I meant Bachelor's degree.
>be 33
other reasons apply. not a vet. considering signing up but i might be too old for that too.
i am pretty good at kicking ass, shooting guns and *computer* stuff. don't need much money. think they'd hire me?

You guys realize that the GI bill only covers X amount of tuition for a 4 year degree. Now it's enough for pretty much any public IN STATE school but you're not going to law school or even a prestigious public college (if out of state) and you can forget any prestigious private schools.
I'm not saying the Gi bill is bad or anything it's just that it's going to get you 4 years of public schooling and that's it,
I don't know that I understand the move of enlisting now if you're sure that what you want to do is law school - it might make more sense to just go straight to law school. Depending on how many years you would serve, you'd definitely be on the older side of things when you graduated, but it's still doable I suppose. If you're not interested in going to a firm (and want to do politics/clerkships/academics), then age doesn't matter at all. I had some people in my class who were over 40.
>minarchy
good to know. i'd rather not do it and just stay in IT, but I'm worried i've been blacklisted for speaking my mind and military/law might be the best out.
Most top schools and grad programs have Yellow Ribbon scholarships that will cover whatever the GI Bill doesn't.
Get an LSAT prep book and some practice test. Do some prep for a while and then take an LSAT. You'll have a much better idea when you have a better idea of what the possibilities are. Other than some time and a little bit of money, it doesn't cost much to do all that.
Good to know user, thanks
Have you lawfags seen any foreigners lawyers working in America? Guessing my chance to end up in Murrica is pretty slim since they have a shitload of natives ready to take the job
k thanks. i'll probly become homeless before ever joining the military, but it's good to know what the options are.
Unless you are highly industrious, willing to work 80 hours a week at any time, than you will likely not be filling the top positions or be a public lawyer for long.
No problem. See too. I do want to make clear that the whole "t-14 or bust" thing is partly a meme. There are plenty of people outside of the t-14 who get jobs at the same top firms, though it definitely requires being at least in the top half of your class.
It's actually fairly common. A lot of foreigners do an LLM program (as opposed to a JD program) at an American law school. They then get recruited by law firms to join the incoming class alongside the JDs. I know that some foreigners actually do the JD program. I had a French guy in mine, come to think of it. But the most common path is LLM and yes law firms are willing to take those LLMs in their incoming class. Especially if it’s a law firm that has international classes, and especially if you are interested in a practice group that has an international element (e.g., international arbitration).
law was easily the most redpilled thing I studied, only did it for one semester since law didn't suit me though.
>become cop after 3 months
>become lawyer/judge after 3 years
And you wonder why the rule of law is dead
Well that's good to hear, I'm currently working in international taxation at Luxembourg
Would be neat if I could finally leave Yurop
Any Collegefags or Post-Collegefags, just how brutal are those SJW- tier classes like >Women's Studies and Gender Studies?
Are they really as bad as the rumors claim to be? Also, how bad are they in the midwest and Rocky Mountain Region compared to the coastfags?
Next, what is the environment and culture in these marxist factories? I would like to hear of your stories.
One more thing, is there any other courses and classes that I should be wary of?
>international taxation at Luxembourg
Kek. If you're seriously interested in the idea of coming to work in the US, I would definitely take a look into it. Because as far as résumé items go, I think that having done international tax work in Luxembourg will play pretty well for law schools and law firms.
I assume you're talking about undergrad. I don’t know anyone who will say that much bad about a Gender Studies course they took because there’s a lot of self selection. You can completely avoid classes like Gender Studies if you don't want to take them. Generally the kinds of people that take those kinds of classes to begin with are the ones who would enjoy it.
>, is there any other courses and classes that I should be wary of?
I would be more concerned about majors to be wary of, rather than individual classes to be wary of. Whatever major you take will completely
As a general matter, only humanities classes have the annoying SJW element. If you major in something like engineering or business/finance, you won’t have to take any humanities classes whatsoever for your major (you may be required to take a 1-2, just because they want you to be well-rounded). You really can’t have SJW-type nonsense in, for example, an accounting or coding class. You would only need to be more worried if you decided on a humanities major or something similar (e.g., political science, English, history, sociology). Even still, if you had one of those majors, you are still given considerable leeway to avoid classes like “Gender Studies.” But be forewarned that humanities majors tend to have a higher proportion of SJW-ish students, who can turn any humanities class into some gender/race nonsense.
Best move i ever made. Most useful degree - kinda like a super power - no one fucks with you, the idiots are impressed, and it's awesome for biz and logic fields.
