rpanons | ゴメンナサイ

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Well, shit. Maybe I shouldn't be looking into law school in the future, then. Though the field I want to go into is super niche, which doesn't help, I'm sure.

It might still be something you want to do! I think my issue is mostly that small non-profits by necessity need all their staffers to do admin work. If you work at the ACLU or whatever, they have assistants for that.

as an anon who is not a lawyer but works in a law firm and knows many lawyers, DO NOT GO TO LAW SCHOOL unless a) you love and want desperately to practice law, b) are prepared to PAY OUT THE NOSE for that privilege, and c) can also get into one of the top TOP rated law schools and do well there.

recent law school grads are currently having an incredibly difficult time finding jobs-- not only are entry level law jobs really hard to find, having a jd (or a 3 year gap on your resume) is like the definition of "overqualified so we don't want to hire you", since they'll assume that you want to be a lawyer and will jump ship to practice law as soon as you can.

and i'm seeing the difference between the people i know who went to law school and came out of it as attorneys, and the prospects for the person who is like "I love the law, and I want to write and interpret and work within it enough to deal with all the bullshit and hardships that come with being a new attorney" and the person who went to law school because it seemed like the smart thing to do, and now has to deal with the same bullshit and hardships but with none of the love and wanting to make it work

agreed with this person, btw. I like my job 80% of the time BECAUSE I love being an attorney and reading legalese and arguing little antfucking details of everytthing. If that sounds awful to you, DO NOT DO LAW SCHOOL because it's all law school is.

Also, even if you DO go to a top law school, there's no guarantee you'll get a job, even if you do well. I had a 3.6 upon graduation (top third for my school), a strong writing sample, good recommendations and a spotless work history, and still sent out over 600 job applications before I landed my current position, which allows me to live only slightly better than paycheck to paycheck.
