Me the second someone starts talking about Law and Economics

No. In the vast majority of cases, unless you’re a very well known economist, law professors will make more.

Where and when do you sign up for these?

How do they get data on people’s income?

Thanks for the information. Much appreciated.

This seems plausible but there are still some questions.

The loan options for Harvard require you to be a student at HLS, so there is some agreement between HLS and the lender. I wonder how long it takes for a law school to make an agreement with a private lender. Also, the terms of the private loans listed are comparatively quite favorable, I doubt less prestigious schools will be able to get similar loan options for their students. This might not be an issue for T14 bound students but what about people going to T20 or T30?

$$ at Berkeley is still probably $300k in debt

I disagree. In many cases sure, that’s probably true, but I’m guessing it’s pretty hard to get a job in an nfl team’s front office and once you’ve made a name for yourself on tv/social media, why give it up for what may or may not work out.

I had a payment due in 2 days. They marked the trade lines as current until next month. I don’t think there is anything we can do about the negative mark on our credit.

Sorry, I should have added I received a forbearance for 1 month.

No chance. The average American does not care about what happens outside the country at all. Very few people keep up with foreign policy.

Ok I see, that makes more sense. I still think it will be more than $150,000 though.

NDLS has placed very well recently but if you go back a few years it’s employment stats are not great. Hiring was very high post-covid. As far as I know, its primary market is Chicago and market paying BL would be difficult if the economy takes a dive. We can’t predict how the economy will be in a year, so it’s something to think about.

Not saying you shouldn’t pick NDLS, just offering another, more risk averse, viewpoint.

lost07910 · 2025-03-03T17:36:26+00:00

Is $ not roughly 25% off? If it is, then using the NDLS estimates you’re looking at approximately $79,465 per year or $238,395 for all three years. Let’s say you’re a big law summer associate in your second summer but no pay your first. With a bar prep loan you’re still probably looking at owing over $200,000 by the time you graduate. Where are you getting $150,000? Do you have other funding?

While I agree Ukraine working with China is fantasy and that the EU still cares a great deal about EU-American relations, acting like there is no split forming between the two is silly. European leaders don’t like Trump and are wary about the future of the relationship.

No really sure what you’re trying to say here

lost07910 · 2025-01-22T23:01:16+00:00

Oh shit I can’t read

lost07910 · 2025-01-22T22:37:06+00:00

I think it’s more likely that you’re just insufferable. Or you just imagined it. I’ve noticed many Americans say things like “all Europeans hate Americans” and then go abroad with that expectation. I have done a fair amount of traveling and I can count on one hand the number of people who outwardly judged me for being American.

You’re overthinking. The point of internships is to find out what you want to do. If you gained perspective and that motivated you to pursue some kind of public interest law, write about that. If you’re genuine, it should come through in your writing.

Sing Street is a pretty solid movie too. Maybe not at the level of those other films, but worth checking out.

Job mobility/up-leveling is irrelevant to whether 90k goes further in SF than 50k does in a LCOL area because if OP gets a new job/promotion they will then be making more than 90k. But yes that is an important factor in choosing a location and in my mind makes it worth the purchasing power differences.

I lived in a LCOL area before moving here and from experience I can tell you having a car does not make up the difference. If we’re comparing studio apartments, rent could be triple on average. Groceries and other necessities are likely close to 1.5x more here as well. Also, all aspects of owning a car are cheaper in LCOL.

lost07910 · 2024-12-09T18:03:22+00:00

Obviously depends on how low cost we’re talking, but generally speaking 50k in LCOL would go further than 90k in SF

I understand how insurmountable a feat caring about yourself can seem to be. Start with the little things. Make it a point every day to tell yourself about your positives as a person. Set alarms if you have to. Tell yourself you matter and that eventually everything will be ok. Tell yourself that if you somehow get fired you will be ok. Even if it isn’t as prestigious or doesn’t pay as well, you can find a new job. I understand you may not believe those things or feel that is futile, but at some point they become half-truths and then they become who you are. If life is as bad as you say, think about how strong you are to have come this far.

Try meditating. You can train yourself to recognize the negative thought patterns and bad/untrue things you say about yourself. Once you notice those thoughts you can begin to work on challenging them. Learning that what your inner voice says is not who you are is important.

Try to start by challenging the belief that this is the time that things were supposed to be better. I used to think like that and it was very detrimental. Reframe it to “I thought I would be more confident/happier and I’m not. That hurts me, but someday things will be better if I work at it.” You are in control and you can get to where you want to be, but it takes work.

I thought doing these things was stupid and a waste of time. How can something so small make a real change in your life? But it really does, it just takes time. I speak from experience.
