BenignUman: why didn’t you answer me about people in Georgetown being underemployed? I also think you’re wrong about your next post.
1. I know someone who thought he was smart and he couldn’t even be in the top half at Harvard. Now he spends his time crying on the phone to other law students about how hard law school is. So you can’t be confident in your abilities to even be in the top half.
2. I also know someone who transferred from Georgetown to another top 6 school and he ended up in the same far flung low paying unprestigious office as my other friend from Georgetown. In this office, they don’t even have lockstep bonuses the way that real preftigious firms do – they either pay you by the number of hours you work, or they pay you on contingency. How would you like to work for a firm that only pays you a bonus if you win the case?
3. You might as well admit it – people at Harvard are smarter and better looking than people at Georgetown.
