[quote=north park girl]…I was considering an MBA last year, even applying to a few top schools for technology (Stanford, MIT, Berkeley). After getting rejected from all three, I thought about casting a wider net, then saw this article about law school debt: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/business/09law.html

north park girl, these recent “law school graduates” are SO HAPPY to be able to get the opportunity to do the work that I’m doing (paralegal) but they don’t know the CA Rules of Court and local rules which you have to have in your head in this business. (They don’t teach this in law school, btw.)
It is TRUE that many firms are outsourcing this task (esp small firms). I am “independent” and am offered more work than I want or even have time to do.
I feel sorry for these new “debtors with no escape.” I have never set foot in a law school (as a law student) and couldn’t qualify to be admitted.
