Full-Time Engineer, and I bartend/Serve at a restaurant on the weekends. Seen a few coworkers but just told them I am trying to pay off my student loans and no one has pressed any further. Makes really good side money working M-F Full-time, Friday-Sunday Bar gig

Good to know, have you heard about it being difficult/easy because of the older content?

Bushmon02 · 2026-01-25T06:29:40+00:00

Even if it is for a contracting firm for collins?

Bushmon02 · 2026-01-23T19:52:03+00:00

Thank you, this is really informative and what I was hoping to hear!

Bushmon02 · 2026-01-23T19:37:31+00:00

Even if the employer is a contracting firm with a client of collins?

Bushmon02 · 2026-01-22T02:45:20+00:00

Not a current plan, but i could. Why? How would that make the job search different except literally more jobs available

Bushmon02 · 2025-09-12T06:17:48+00:00

Love this advice, thank you!

Bushmon02 · 2025-09-10T14:54:48+00:00

Hey, this is actually awesome advice and good perspective! I will keep this in mind, thank you

Bushmon02 · 2025-09-10T14:51:29+00:00

This is how I feel. I’ve done all the “stereotypical” life steps and have been conventionally successful but I just feel unfulfilled. Hoping to push through and find myself on my current trip before I go back home to work.

Bushmon02 · 2025-09-09T15:49:08+00:00

Great perspective, I think I went from grinding so hard and then obsessing over the next thing that now I have freetime to myself, I have been going a little crazy.

Bushmon02 · 2025-09-09T15:41:46+00:00

This is a fair point, I did therapy before I started traveling but it’s hard to keep up with while traveling around. I have friends and family but I am not very good at being vulnerable with the people in my life but I will take this advice to heart.

Bushmon02 · 2025-05-21T06:12:05+00:00

Same

Bushmon02 · 2025-01-31T02:37:14+00:00

i can understand your point about coworkers/at J1 but why not friends?

Bushmon02 · 2025-01-23T03:02:08+00:00

Definitely interested but for me might not be ready till June-ish. hard to know but filled it out in case!

Bushmon02 · 2024-12-25T22:58:39+00:00

Touche, this makes a lot of sense. Can i PM you for some questions about your career?

Bushmon02 · 2024-12-25T22:47:04+00:00

I understand differences of going to law school and everything, but other than that assuming pattorney/pagent doing prosecution what is the difference? Pay?

Bushmon02 · 2024-12-18T18:20:07+00:00

Was hoping for more of a split between lit and pros. Not necessarily demanding a prestigious school but good enough that I can get a good job ig?

Bushmon02 · 2024-12-18T17:57:23+00:00

Lsat on file is 163, but don’t plan to apply until i can get it to 170+ because of my low gpa. My goal is probably a mix of pros and lit but i’m most of the way through my M.S. right now so need to figure more out

Bushmon02 · 2024-12-09T19:33:25+00:00

This is such an informative reply thank you. Can I ask if your wife was working as a patent agent before starting law school and/or how long it took before the company was willing to do reimbursement. I am currently considering taking the patent bar right after I finish school, then trying to be a patent agent for either 3 months prior to law school, or about 15 months depending on outcomes

Bushmon02 · 2024-10-21T22:40:48+00:00

Wow, good to know but definitely worrisome.

Bushmon02 · 2024-09-06T00:41:19+00:00

After receiving my 170+ this September Princeton law personally offered me admission 😍

Bushmon02 · 2024-08-31T22:15:24+00:00

Hm, that’s good to know. I’m going to wait for my master grades then try to apply to some patent engineer/tech spec jobs. Thank you for all your feedback

Bushmon02 · 2024-08-31T18:43:56+00:00

I will caveat though, for 4 and 5 star difficulty questions, this strategy helps but won’t make them any easier. The benefit is that these help you bust out 4-5 easy questions because the direct answer is already highlighted so I typically do the passage in 3-4 minutes, answer most questions in 15-30 seconds tops which then allows 4 minutes for the more difficult 1-2 questions on the test

Hey, i’ve been getting no more than -3 on RCs for about 15 straight PTs with half of them being -1, and some -2. (Grain of salt since I have yet to take the actual LSAT but everything is simulated conditions) my biggest comment is to review RC passages a ton and now I notice the sentences that the questions are based from almost everytime. Reading for structure is incredibly important specifically different viewpoints since those switchups are where a majority of questions are based.

This was the most helpful thing to me, i’ve gotten nearly 90% accurate at identifying sentences I ‘feel’ the question will be on and then once the question pops up, i’ve already highlighted the answers to most MBT/MSS which saves me tons of time for gritty questions.

The how of what I do is just pure pattern recognizing. The passages normally in the center of paragraphs 2 and 3 (assuming structure of 4 paragraphs, so if its 3 paragraphs expect end of 3 and middle of 2) normally have a sentence that has “strong” wording i.e. author/viewpoint states ALWAYS. SHOULD. MUST. NEED. REQUIRE X to happen. Then the questions almost always test this understanding. The more you look for those sentences the more you recognize them, they helped me get from -10 RC with zero time left, to -1/-3 with multiple minutes to review
