because they overwork you, drill formal logic into your mins until autism sets in (watch 2-3rd year law students at a party, srs). and the payoff is no guarantee of anything more than a life of paperwork, late nights and shit take out while you pray for partner status. Law is Boring AF.

Only the partners really get paid, unless its a fluke of sheer case load.

Meanwhile, I take a two week course, drop 3-400 bux total, Grab a notary license while i'm at it and save all of that tuition. And that time. The dregs of my youth.

And I make some connects and rent apartments, collecting upwards of 2500 bux for 15 minutes work. Then I stop working for the rest of the month (im an independent contractor, the office cant tell me shit).

Then Play.. Play music, play board games, vandalize the city, go out and get wild, get hired by producers and hotels, slowly transitioning towards full time artist.

You can't do it 'on the side' until you have clients, landlords, supers, tenants.... all in your pocket, next to a wad of cash.

I can't teach you anything but the laws, everything else is "Figure it out, fgt!" and that's why the majority of new agents fail. You gotta know who dying, and then talk them into giving you an exclusive. You gotta be a bit sheisty someimes, and exude enough "fuckawayfromme" to keep your office mates at bay. While taking shit from picky clients, real estate tourists and HUD equal housing testers. You gotta bend laws. But if you can hustle, why the fuck youd do anything else is beyond me.

When you know about construction.... that's big. I worked historical restoration for years, so I can read a shit renovation job in under 5 minutes. I KNOW that door is from home depot. I know the asshole owner threw out 18th century wood panelling for paper thin sheetrock. I am steaing the panelling in question from his dumpster and using it in my buildings, because the majority of tenants in BK want authentic digs, and not 1/4 in plywood & a shitty dishwasher with some no frills window treatments.

You need an airtight lease. you need to know EVERYthing that a tenant can fuck up. Leave the stove going over a two week vaycay? I seen it. 20 pairs of kicks in a washing machine, destroying its motor? Scene it.

true,
that being said i majored in polisci and econ and am in pretty good shape for applying to law school. You dont need to go to top ten but if you dont go to top ten you do need to be in a regionally strong school (where do firms in your area/city u want to be in hire from besides top10)
or you need to be in a school strong in your practice area.
and above all you need to be at the top of your class if youre not in top 10. Even if you are in top 10 school you're not guaranteed a job if you're not near the top of your class so dont just go to columbia and fuck around.

Law student here.
Useful undergrads for law include:
>Philosophy (very dense with readings and essays, which will prepare you for law. Also, believe it or not there's a lot of use for this in the way you go about forming legal arguments)
>Language minor that is in demand by firms in your State/desired area of law. (Mandarin or Arab might be useful examples)
>Political Science. Not that much overlap in how you'll practice as a lawyer, but definitely useful for certain jurisprudence units.
>Literature (Useful just for developing your writing style)

STEM can be useful in certain areas of law like Patents, but will undoubtedly be significantly harder to get a competitive GPA in. Only pick this if you're extremely confident in your abilities.

There's some truth to this, although it sounds like a lot of your answer is full of preconceived notions and personal biases that make you feel better about leaving it behind.

First, law school definitely changes the way you approach certain logical problems, but socially it wont make you an autists. My personal experience with law students at parties at home and overseas is they party fairly hard.

As far as the actual work and pay, this depends largely on your state/country, area of law, and personal ambitions. A lot of people have the idea that being a lawyer will make you instantly loaded. This is obviously not true, but it definitely will put you into, at minimum, the upper-middle class. Partners make absolute bank but that's not to say associates or in-house counsel can't.
Same logic with hours. If you work in a top-tier firm you will absolutely be putting in 50-70 hour weeks, but that's not to say this is your only option in the profession.
I know plenty of peers that have gone to work in-house with 40-50 hour work weeks and still make 6 figures comfortably.
Ultimately if your only reason for being in the profession is to make money, you'll eventually succumb to depression and kys/leave. You need to genuinely enjoy the work.

164. Melbourne Uni, Australia. Doing a double degree JD with NYU.

My undergrad was a BA majoring in political science and minoring in German, did a year abroad in Germany at Heidelberg University too.
Both were simple enough degrees that awarded me a competitive GPA without putting in too much work. Pol Sci hasn't been directly relevant to law, but a degree that was focused on dense reading and essays honestly ensured law school hasn't been too much of a shock.
Ultimately hardly anything will be directly relevant to law school, the point of the above recommendations was undergrads that are reading dense and require frequent writing.

what interests you?? being hundred of thousands of dollars in debt?? doing dumb grunt work for a boomer that makes 10x your salary?? burning a hole in your gut over where you placed a comma in a document?? being yelled at over an improperly cc'd email??
unless you are going to a top school (t6) at half price this shit isn't worth it. There is nothing interesting about "the law" as it is actually practiced. You should intern for a major law firm before you spend the money.Almost every real human there wants to kill themselves.

Lol no need to be so salty lad.

164 got me into Melbourne because they're way more concerned about your GPA. A great GPA and a good LSAT goes a lot further than the inverse.
The NYU double degree is something you apply for while you're already in law school and it's based entirely on your law school GPA.

You sound like a miserable little brown boy that got in on diversity scholarships and now can't cope.

I’m 22 and never went to uni, but I’ve been thinking about it recently. I never tried in high school and got average grades for it.
Is there any like fake assignments or aptitude things online or something to help me tell if I’m smart enough to go? Don’t want to sign up then realise I’m too dumb later on.

Difficulty varies tremendously depending on field of study.
Usually though adults that study uni later in life do better than their younger peers. Honestly if you're not studying rocket science and you're not a complete mong, you should be able to handle it. It's more a matter of putting in work than being smart.

Still doesn't help.

If you don't know what you're getting into, you meet people in the industry, maybe intern or work as a paralegal for a couple years, or work at the courthouse. Taking a major or any amount of coursework is going to be useless there.

Being a "more logical thinker" isn't something you really train. If you're talking about logic games on the LSAT, then to an extent you can improve your chances by learning propositional logic, but only to an extent. As to learning to think like a lawyer, that's what law school is for. Getting a jump on everyone else will not be to your benefit in the end. You should just get your GPA up.

I seriously question whether 140 is the average. I can tell you for a fact that a 140 when I took it required 62 incorrect responses out of 101 credited questions.

Even if it were the average, bear in mind that the majority of LSAT takers either don't go to law school, don't complete law school, or attend third- and fourth-tier toilets and never find legal work.

>>12881326
Eh. You can prep for it somewhat. You can't make yourself smarter, but you can at least crush extraneous factors that could cause a bad score, like test anxiety or getting confused by the structure of a question. That's what most of the prep courses teach you to do, anyway. Repetition means familiarity, so you waste less time trying to understand what the question is asking and how to arrive at the answer.

Philosophy majors are the autismos in the liberal arts. If you look at male:female gender ratios by major, philosophy is up there with engineering, physics, and computer science.
