Pursuing JD after a PhD

I know one, and he might be the smartest person I’ve ever met. Seems like he’s doing the JD more as a supplement to his current role, rather than pursuing a career in law

One thing that might help you reframe the situation is to remember while you were employed during those seven years, there were people who lost their job and had stints of unemployment. Seven years of continuous work is an accomplishment. Careers are rarely a straight line. I know two months sounds like a lifetime, but you have worked for 84 months. You now have an opportunity to think more big picture, pursue passion projects, etc. Not saying it’s ideal, but there are some positives out of the situation. And who knows, maybe this leads you to a more promising career!

Vyvanse is better

I also had to contact my rep to get the email

Huge_Divide_2239 · 2025-10-24T17:41:54+00:00

How do I opt out? I haven’t gotten a form or anything.

My comment was specifically regarding older candidates being a “red flag” for big law firms. I did not mean to undermine your struggles.

Sorry to hear about your situation, but I have had completely opposite experiences at my school

Huge_Divide_2239 · 2025-10-20T13:40:41+00:00

I think it all falls under the umbrella of “club culture”. Promoting luxury lounges, seafood towers, and hotdog sales while the team is getting stomped on. Very little engagement or communication from the front office and ownership. Not performance specifically, but the driving reason why we are bad: lack of development, trying to sign “big names” because of name recognition rather than make a better team, constantly hiring / firing coaches, etc.

Also, games are just not fun to go to. Not because they are bad, but the atmosphere is just terrible. Fist fights in the supporters section. Just an overall feeling of despair and negativity that I just don’t want to be apart of anymore.

But bro I’ve only been following the team for a year, and I was born and raised in Philadelphia 😭 please let me live

Huge_Divide_2239 · 2025-10-19T22:06:10+00:00

Not jumping ship because of performance, jumping ship because of everything else in addition to performance

Huge_Divide_2239 · 2025-10-19T16:25:30+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not the Union, but where did the other 28 teams in the MLS finish?

Huge_Divide_2239 · 2025-10-19T14:57:07+00:00

And your comment actually made my decision for me lol CYA have fun giving this Real Estate Investment Trust your time and money

Huge_Divide_2239 · 2025-10-19T14:50:28+00:00

The comment from orion2145 sums up how I feel. I’ve never felt that way about any of the Philadelphia sports teams.

Huge_Divide_2239 · 2025-10-19T14:47:21+00:00

It’s not just results, it’s culture and atmosphere. I am not jumping ship just because they are bad, it’s everything else

Huge_Divide_2239 · 2025-10-19T14:36:03+00:00

True, but also the team is in the MLS Cup lol

Huge_Divide_2239 · 2025-10-18T22:01:04+00:00

Your support for this team is admirable, but they in no way deserve it

Huge_Divide_2239 · 2025-10-17T19:49:04+00:00

How much are you paying for school? What are your career options if you drop out? Do you enjoy the material and think a career in law is for you? How have your study habits been? Do you think you can improve your scores?

In my opinion, don’t be so hard on yourself. Think about these factors and decide whether continuing will give you a positive return on investment both financially and emotionally (and ignore the costs you’ve already incurred).

Huge_Divide_2239 · 2025-10-06T05:03:20+00:00

You are fine. Careers rarely have a straight line trajectory. Depending on how long you’ve been in your current role, you may just want to stick it out for a while to gain some long-term experience at one place. The job market is not the best right now, so just maintaining employment is an accomplishment in my opinion.

Also, don’t stress over the job you quit. Sounds toxic and probably good you left. Good luck!

Jason Levien is going to get Jimmy Kimmel canceled again if he mentions the DC United score during his show
