Participant[quote=ltsdd][quote=scaredyclassic]I’m extremely interested in what will happen to my kids, but deep down I know it will ultimately primarily be suffering and disappointment, with occasional boredom, same as it has been for all mankind for millenia.[/quote]
That’s how I see things also. It’s pretty much a struggle throughout k-12, then college, then “life”. I am working hard to get out of the rat race and get my life back. But by then there will be new struggles and battles – old age and bad health. Life sucks.[/quote]
Well, yeah. But pessimism as a world view can be very liberating.

Perhaps Schopenhauer’s studies in pessimism can help see you through. Chapter 1 above to me is kibd of a hoot, if im in the right mood. Plus, it feels true. So Yeats some consolation. .

ParticipantMainly what they learned was from my wife, and some from me.
Maybe.
Great documentary I saw this weekend FOLLOWING SEAN , netflix, about a kid raised on Haight Ashbury in the 60s… and the follow up where he is today. Just riveting…might make you rethink parental effects on kids.
ParticipantDon’t buy a law practice. Dumb…
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=scaredyclassic]A law degree is more than 250k. Jobs are hard to come by at 50k.
Not worth it unless your kid is,dying to be a lawyer.
In general law is a bad idea[/quote]
Doesn’t seem like that. I don’t see starving lawyers.
What would you say is the percentage is lawyers who earn an income worth the education and sacrifices. Better than actors, I’m sure.My neighbor is a retired lawyer. He owns 5 condos in the building and a second home in Montana. Seems pretty set.
Also, lawyers have the status symbol which is worth something.
Interesting that, generally among people who highly value education, being a concert musician is a high status job. But only a tiny percent make much money. Good job if you have a trust fund.[/quote]
Of all new lawyers less than half will do ok.

Participant[quote=Blogstar][quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Blogstar][quote=scaredyclassic]Smart kids are avoiding law. Lsat scores and bar passage rates are way down.
Law is shrinking. Not a good idea. No bueno.[/quote]
Unbundled services rock! Law needs a good smack down. Lawyers priced themselves out. Use sparingly.[/quote]Just no middle class to pay them and no insyrance. Think about it. In the absence of med. Insurance, docs would be screwed too.[/quote]
So how to you feel about that fact that cost effective or timely access to the justice system doesn’t exist for so many citizens, unless as perpetrators of bloody crimes or as the victims? Even those last issues are kind of a long shots for many.[/quote]
Justice is too expensive for a citizenry as worthless as us I guess. As is law schooling.

ParticipantDo not let your kids go to law school without
googling LAW SCHOOL SCAM and reading http://www.jdunderground.com** ignore only if going to Harvard Yale or stanford.

ParticipantIf ones age is right on border of boomer and gen. X, does one get to choose?
ParticipantNot sure if it would sell at a discount or a premium. My mom’s Brooklyn neighborhood skyrocketed cause jews bought up places within walking distance of temple. I’d buy near mosque for 10 perc. Off.

Participant[quote=yuhtey][quote=scaredyclassic][quote=yuhtey]AN – can i ask you do you walk into a car dealer and offer the MSRP for a car? if not, then you are surely a snob! or better yet, you can’t afford it![/quote]
No. But there’s a limited range of what’s possible.
http://Www.truecar.com graphs it nicely.[/quote]
some go over, some go under.
if some are going under, then why would anyone want to pay at or over? if 3 doors down sells for 1.15 widgets, then why would seller x list for 1.35 widgets? and why would buyer y pay that much for seller x’s house, even though buyer y has budgeted for 1.40 widgets?
we are not talking major price slashing. fair market value has nothing to do with affordability.[/quote]
House not a widget.
