no one wants an inexperienced lawyer, it's a reputation-heavy field in general. You can expect though that eventually all the current top-dog boomers will drop-off, leaving a lot of room to grow (but this will take forever because most of them never retire and a lot of them are immortal jews). On the other hand, a lot of lawyers will be replaced by computer programs and smarter court websites so that's something to think about.

Funny OP, I'm in the opposite position. My whole family made their money in construction and real estate and have been pushing me to pursue architecture since I was a kid. They want to open me a firm and I'll have all the freedom to actually do what architects in school think they'll be doing. My father want to buy me a plot of land once I graduate so I can build whatever I want. Found out I had a talent for it in HS winning multiple competitions nationwide. Got accepted into a top 3 arch school in the country. I'm turning it down

why is it a bad idea aside from the job basically having to be rich peoples' bitch? But that's also not so different from any other job is it? You just have to put more hands-on time with your "masters" as a lawyer and you deal with a lot of big egos and well-disguised schizoid narcissists.

A few ways

You can make a tinder profile saying you have a high paying job.

You can make an okcupid account saying you have a high paying job.

Or you can go up to girls at bars and give them your number that "happens" to be written on the back of your receipt from the ATM that shows that you have a high paying job. This one is guaranteed to work btw.

If you have money, you can have women. Also remember this: there is someone who is uglier than you who has a gf. There is someone who is dumber than you who has a gf. There is someone who is poorer than you who has a gf. There is someone who is shorter than you who has a gf. There is someone who is more awkward than you who has a gf. Don't stress it.

Nothing will. You should not seek reconciliation, but rather reactivation.

These are the rules of the game these days. The world is one big brothel. Sorry you were born into such a shitty age but that's how it is. Don't mutilate reality with delusions. You've got to keep a level head.

Don't expect morality, love, happy endings, or some transcendental epicenter of values. There is only one rule that all of the guys at the top live by: "Fuck or be fucked". Live by that. Because that is the substratum that the whole modern world is built upon; that is the energy that is pulsating underneath everything; everything is nothing but a manifestation of this single idée fixe: "fuck or be fucked."

If "fuck or be fucked" is the lone operating principle of humankind then we're hardly better than beasts and nothing matters. Not that I particularly disagree with your post.

A reality un-"mutilated" by religion or something like Kantian ideal of morality is itself a wastelandic mutilated reality.

>If "fuck or be fucked" is the lone operating principle of humankind then we're hardly better than beasts and nothing matters
Yes, I'm not sure if I successfully communicated the idea that by "fuck or be fucked" I am speaking to the principle of Fucking as opposed to strictly the sexual act. "fuck people over or be fucked over" as ethos etc. Not sure if you are commenting on that or not since the critique of us being "hardly better than beasts" applies I guess to both the reduction life to a struggle against others as well as the reduction of life to one "sex-crazed" search for the next lay.

>A reality un-"mutilated" by religion or something like Kantian ideal of morality is itself a wastelandic mutilated reality.
I was speaking more to the mutilation that is the idea that salvation is at all possible (salvation and rectification as principles are impossible period). As to whether a reality devoid of religion or transcendentally based morality is a mutilation I disagree with, but understand your position and what you're saying. Pretty fucked situation either way, eh?

>>12278478
If you are attractive and/or rich? Indulge while you can. If you aren't? Well, Epictetus knew what was up.

Or, as a last ditch effort, you can try to transmute existence into art/aesthetics which would be a way of circumventing the catastrophe of everyday life. But it would have to be a hopeless action that finds its justification and rest in the act of itself alone.
