Clever! I am increasingly glad that I am not going to law school this fall. Even with low enrollment this year, the competition and the fees are really steep. Plus, y'know, there's the no jobs thing . . .

I don't see why anyone would go to law school unless it was to a top-teer school (not suggesting you couldn't). There are so many crappy law-schools out there and I think that this is a part of the problem. Out of curiosity, what are you pursuing instead of law?

Well, I was aiming for T14, so yeah exactly. I've got my sights set on the U.S. Foreign Service and will probably sit the written exam in October. There's a June date, but I don't feel ready for it, plus I think it might be too late to register.

Good luck! That seems like it could be an extremely interesting career path.
