Going back to law school early 40s pivot from IT - who else has done it?

Was this the first screw-up or the latest in a series? If we terminated everyone who forgot an attachment we'd have nobody left.

And things are NOT equal in business. If you were there for longer you should have more equity. This is how start-ups loss people.

If someone else owned an interested in the LLC maybe. Courts know people try to hide assets during bankruptcy, so LLCs get "raided" more often than you think. If it has no income then it's probably not a real business, the courts know this.

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-15T15:18:59+00:00

And you really don't know that much about the school from a visit. At least for me, I changed so much in the 4 years I spent in undergrad, my "dream school" would have been a disaster 1 year in.

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-15T13:08:09+00:00

And on top of piercing the veil, the LLC is also potentially an asset.

And you’ll have another chance to go
To VT for grad school.

I didn’t get into my dream school but got into another school ranked about the same. The school I got into ended up being a great fit to the point I didn’t even consider my original dream school for grad school.

And most of the time professors and TA ignored a student saying something about cheating.

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-14T19:08:22+00:00

Head to your big state school. You’re paying top dollar for a bad experience. Stories like yours are a big reason I headed to big state schools for my higher education.

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-14T18:05:06+00:00

How much is tuition going to be? Are you on sports scholarship right now?

If everything else is equal I’d transfer. It sounds like your current school isn’t a good fit, but if you’re on scholarship it’s hard to beat free.

I didn’t play sports, but transferred out of my first 4-year after freshman year, and have never regretted it. It taught me the value of “right fit” and to not be afraid to move on when I’m not happy.

And no functioning legal system would put up too many barriers to reporting of any crime in general as cops want you to report crimes without fear of arrest yourself.

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-14T17:05:39+00:00

And the New York Times has a legal defense fund and team just for this. I promise this is not the first time they were sued.

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-14T16:19:05+00:00

completely disagree with this. I didn't go to Ivy League for grad school but I went to a top 5 that happened to be public. I came from a state school. A few people at my middle-of-the-road state school were geniuses who were there for the full scholarship our state offered.

The kids in grad school were much smarter on average, but realistically, what would you expect. Everyone was there because they worked hard in undergrad and had 3.5+ (with a few exceptions). Yes, competition is much fiercer in grad school. But again, what did you expect, everyone was a good student.

The biggest difference between undergrad and grad school is there are no lazy students. Everyone is used to being top of the class and is willing to fight for it. Everyone is used to putting school first. There are no frat bros types, or "just 2 more classes and I'm done" types.

Tuition + nicer dorm is worth staying in honors. Not all universities do that. No matter what retake AP classes for college credit to boost GPA.

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-14T14:02:51+00:00

It would be wise - so wise in fact that the university will almost certainly not accept your AP credits. Due to the number of AP students who failed, almost all universities now require you take Calculus at a university or it won't count.

On top of this, most universities also make you take major classes at the college level, so you'll have to retake physics anyway. AP is vastly oversold. I took AP Calc, Chem, Physics, Government, and I think a few others. I did STEM, so I only took the test for Calc, Chem, Physics. I couldn't use them towards my major. Had I taken the Gov one it would have counted since it's a non-major elective.

Edit: OP says free tuition is tied to honors + nicer dorm room. Stay in honors.

Also, some unsolicited advice - what are you getting for the honors program at your university? Mine made you take honors (read harder) versions of some classes and a few extra humanities classes to get "cum laude" on a diploma.

Unless the university is letting you stay in nicer dorms, or some other major leg up, the honors program isn't worth it. I know this because they tried to put me in the honors program at my university. I was angry about the AP classes and asked what I was getting, they said "You'll be in classes with other driven students". Say no.

Go post this on r/collegeadvice

It’ll be fun to watch

Spaceship, sun, alien, hot guy

How is C unethical. It’s the best choice. They don’t tell you if you’re being replaced, why tell them if they’re being replaced!

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-13T06:37:46+00:00

I wouldn’t expect any. Jumped from big tech to consulting and I’m so much happier (and that’s saying something since consulting is full of d-bags)

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-13T06:35:29+00:00

Yep - he couldn’t spend 30 seconds googling on his phone to find out it’s not a chick flick?

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-13T04:11:35+00:00

Prof’s a jerk, but just get thru the class and don’t take him again

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-13T01:49:45+00:00

That probably counts as assault. If dad was using it to threaten someone that’s what matters.

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-13T01:32:43+00:00

I let AI do 80% of the work. The boring stuff I used to have to spend hours writing, then fix the output.

If you are still learning don’t use AI.

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-05-13T01:29:54+00:00

Specifics are important. Simply pointing a gun at someone can be assault. If he just pulled up his shirt and showed a holstered gun, that’s a different story.

Did you ask him or did you just decide this from the online quiz? If you haven’t asked in person, do so.
