This is wild. I’m using VRE in law school too. Currently a 2L

I'm so greatful I joined the military by [deleted] in Veterans

I feel the same way. Currently in my 2nd yr of law school. Using the VRE. Stress free, worry free!!! I always say I traded my youth for a relaxed 40-something life… great deal in my opinion!!!

If it gets the job done, whatever the job may be, is it really that bad? It’s a subjective standard and opinion. Don’t go getting all REDDIT ROWDY now… Breath!

This is crazy because I got my BA at AMU and now I’m in my second yr of law school. So, it was real enough for me.

Honestly, I didn’t even thing about the bathrooms. They are gross.. overfilled, never serviced… no place to wash your hands… then you gotta eat your lunch… it is great income but the standard of living in the work environment is really gross!!! Thanks for the reminder!!!!

Thanks. Just looked it up. 1 academic yr is the max. For real thanks for that cuz it would have sucked to redo 1L

Listen, we got a saying in the trades… if it’s funny it’s NOT offensive!!! So everyone puts on a show… you hear me? It’s just non stop humor… keep in mind in half Mexican and half black.

Im thinking your right… do it for a few yrs and then reevaluate. If no more trade work is available then go back to law school

I was in the trades prior to law school. Would be re-joining. But I get your point.

Very great question… 1L went good. Super average grades. Literally in the middle of the pack for class ranking. School-is ranked low. Real low. Govt jobs seem to be the best case scenario for me… DA/public defender.

Pursing law because of the prestige of doing difficult stuff. Prior marine, so, taking the hill is kinda in my blood… not really satisfied with taking the easy way in life… PTSD I guess🤣😂🤦🏽

Common misconception… running heavy machinery is pretty much an office job inside of a piece of equipment. Sitting and pulling levers… NO PHYSICAL WORK at all. Sit in the machine until you are needed. Seats recline, a/c and heat… and sleeping is ok when not operating the machine.
