      It's free to make an account. The article's been up for a couple of days now, so NYT makes you login to access it.

        Oh, I have access through my privileges as a professor. I was thinking of the commoners, man of the people that I am.

            Oh. In that case I shall summarize: Law schools are overpriced, turning out far more attorneys than the market can possibly absorb, manipulating data to mislead prospective students, then abandoning them when they graduate and find themselves underemployed and financially insolvent.

            (Incidentally, I don't mean to sound flippant, as for several years now every indication has been that all of these are correct.)

                  I think all the bitching and moaning and the sob stories about working for pennies while strapped to huge loans is funny.

                  I worked 80 hour weeks making just over $40K for 7 years after medical school and that's just the way it works.

                      The irony in this post is awesome.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                        Why don't the unemployed law grads sue the law schools?

                            maybe it's based on click counts. I've already read a couple of NYT articles today, so maybe that's why it's prompting me to login. When I switched to IE it didn't ask me to login. no idea, really.

                              I was able to access the article, no problem. I seem to remember reading other stuff with much the same POV in the last year or so. So this is nothing new.

                              I may be small, but I'm slow.

                              A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."
