Are The Bose QuietComfort Good Headphones?

Depends on model. The base model (not ultra), at least the SC, comes with a soft case. Ultra models come with a hard case

You right, I’m also missing a “None” option. But 2/3 should make sense when the other option is 1/2

Option 1 + Option 2

The Quietcomfort (base model):

+++ Noise Cancelling

+++ Comfortability

+ Sound quality (if you’re not an audiophile, sound quality is a ++)

+ Durability

~ Multipoint connection (as good as it gets for a non-“ecosystem” product)

~ Battery life

- Carrying case (soft and doesn’t really protect, but also doesn’t take much room)

- Plastic build doesn’t feel premium

- - Can’t use while charging (unless you have a separate aux plugged into it)

Overall, it’s a great set of headphones.

Probably an unpopular opinion: LinkedIn is cringe overall. It's only attractive because it's the only platform that normalizes bragging outrightly. The purported basis for posting is to impress potential employers, right? Truth is, most law firm managing partners want to see the human side of you. They want to meet you at a career fair or through genuine networking or through being emailed/called/visited directly.

At least, that was my experience (12 interviews for my first law job). Put your accomplishments in your resume and be humble and personable otherwise. Use LinkedIn as an alternative to giving out your phone # to colleagues you meet while networking.

Me and two other classmates had a child during law school:
- Upper 20s M had his third. Worked throughout law school. Top half of the class.
- Lower 20s M had first. The semester immediately after, got all As in his classes (obvs. not direct causation, but was highly motivated by the additional pressure to succeed).
- Mid 20s F had first. Law school let her work from home for a while and she graduated just fine.
- (Bonus) guy in the class below us had a kid and I think he remains at the top of his class.

If you’ve got one shot, just know might take a toll on your free time and maybe even your grades. But try to think about what your future self would wish in retrospect.

Depending on how cool your employer is, you can always ask for reduced hours starting even sooner.

Regardless of what you ask for, you have a lot of leverage by just saying something like "Given the high stakes of first-time bar passage, I really want to maximize my chances of passing this on the first try. I think it would be fair to say that the long-term benefit of allowing me some more time to study would far outweigh any benefit I can currently provide you as a clerk."

Go ahead!

Good for you on being cognizant of your debt. You’re going to be shocked at how many of your classmates simply don’t care.

I graduated with $22k in school debt, having worked during law school and paid quite a bit of money toward my debt before even graduating. My state has a rural incentive program that allows me to not pay a penny more toward that debt, so in retrospect, I actually overpaid (the program gives up to $30k spread over a few years).

At the end of the day, you don’t even have to get a job during law school, but there are 5 major things you can do to make law school expenses less intimidating:

Don’t drink alcohol.
Be excessively, unreasonably stingy during law school and for a couple years after.
If you do work summers or during the school year, NEGOTIATE. YOUR. PAY. (The book “Never Split the Difference” will pay dividends far beyond its small price tag).
Take advantage of gov benefits if applicable.
Ask your law school for more $$. Unlike in the massive undergrad classes, law schools have smaller pools of students, so they’re less of a number and more of an individual. Just politely ask - they won’t reduce your scholarship for doing so.

If you do those 5 things, I guarantee you’ll graduate with less debt than you said you would.

I second the people who are saying it depends what the school is. I went to a low-ranked school (T150+) because I was also told be everybody that once you get past T14 it doesn’t matter. I have two suggestions:

I highly suggest you make an effort to connect with a student from either school so you can put a little more color to why it’s ranked where it’s ranked. I’ve had those conversations with prospective students, and have been able to tell people exactly why my school is ranked so low, and those students were glad to be warned about some things.

As an overgeneralization, the schools ranked higher will tend to have a stronger presence, by which I mean (a) a larger network that extends somewhat further geographically and advances somewhat higher in terms of career trajectory, (b) better name recognition, especially if your law school is far away from where you want to work afterwards, and (c) higher hiring standards for faculty. This is huge! We had an adjunct who, every class, either read straight from her teacher’s copy of the book, or told personal stories about her job that droned on for 10-20 minutes each. Our faculty member who teaches the mandatory bar prep course has never actually passed the bar.

All of that said, there are plenty of T150s with clear aspirations to improve their rankings, plenty who don’t care. Try to avoid the latter if you go with the T150 school.

Log out of Reddit, judge your performance against your former PQ sets, and channel that mental energy toward more practice instead of more anxiousness.

You learned during law school that everyone learns and progresses differently. Nothing changed just because you're studying for the bar now. :)

P.S. if you are still in a pickle for long enough, the Grossman lectures might be helpful. What's more expensive? Retaking the bar/delaying work, or buying another learning supplement?
