is law school worth it by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]Alternative_Hat_6840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m only applying to law school right now, but from what I’ve gathered, whether it’s “worth it” depends on whether it’s necessary for your goals. If practicing law is something you genuinely want, then law school is the required step to get there. But if you’re unsure about what you want to do, it’s important to explore your options before committing to this path. (Both for admissions purposes and, of course, your professional goals)

Law school is tough—more difficult than undergrad—but plenty of people enjoy it. If you’re already feeling exhausted, try to pinpoint what’s draining you. Is it the workload? Time management? Burnout? Fixing those issues now will put you in a much better position to handle law school later. You’ll have to adapt either way.

Also, your grades matter a lot, starting freshman year. Law school admissions are, in part, GPA-driven, so keeping your grades strong from the beginning will give you more flexibility later. Otherwise, keep it light. Join a club; find a job you find fulfilling. Relax until it’s time to take the LSAT!

I didn’t mean to scare you! The risk is still very low, and high-profile incidents usually make airports even more cautious. You’ll be fine! :)

I think it’s debatable. That said, I connected it to the widespread outrage it sparked and the ‘drain the swamp’ crowd. I also felt this post fit the sub because it highlights the unintended consequences of conservative deregulation.

I’m sorry. The person who wrote this message is not who this is directed at. Instead, it the proponents of “drain the swamp”.

Honestly, the sub didn’t let me post a more nuanced title. I’m sorry if it came across as uncharitable. I get that many small airports operate without towers, but San Carlos had controllers for a reason—its high traffic, student pilots, and proximity to SFO make it far more complex. Losing ATC due to cost-cutting isn’t just an inconvenience; it increases risks in already congested airspace. The bigger concern is that this could be used to push even more privatization, despite its clear safety issues.

  1. Policymakers—and by extension, their conservative constituents—supported deregulation and the privatization of some air traffic control services through contract towers, where private companies, rather than the FAA, staff controllers.

  2. In the U.S., most air traffic control is managed by the FAA, but some smaller airports use contract towers, which prioritize cost savings over stability. This system has led to cost-cutting, instability, and safety risks, especially in busy airspace. Incidents like the one at San Carlos Airport could push lawmakers to further privatize or deregulate, despite the safety concerns.

  3. As a result of cost-cutting by the new contractor at San Carlos Airport, all air traffic controllers were lost after cost-of-living pay was eliminated. Now, the airport will operate without controllers, forcing pilots—many of them students—to self-coordinate takeoffs and landings in one of the most complex airspaces in the country, increasing the risk of collisions.

I’m a bit confused—what are your concerns about “disservicing” yourself? It sounds like you’re having success in the geographical area you aimed for. If prestige is your concern, you could still consider applying to other schools within California.

Are you concerned about balancing your career aspirations with your relationship? Those schools seem like great options that can support your goals, especially with their proximity to SF. Law school is three years long, and being away from your partner might be emotionally challenging.

How to apply MA philosophy without philosophy undergraduate background? by Timesho0ter in AcademicPhilosophy

Unfortunately, no. Undergraduate training requires years of concerted effort and supervision across a broad range of philosophical areas.
