lol.
The most /lit/ "job" is being a rentier and living off of your family fortune. Go read Proust. Read the banal minutiae of his daily life, painstakingly recorded.
Not once does he do anything close to working. Tolstoy did nothing but live off of his fortune until he turned crazy and religious (at which point he lived off of the charity of others - still not working an honest job). Dostoevsky wasn't rich, but that does not mean he worked - he would spend all the comission he would get from his books on the roulette table in the faint hope that he would never have to work again, and when that failed, he preferred living in abject poverty to working. Thomas Mann lived off his family fortune. Joyce never had a real job. Woolf lived off of her husbands and family's fortune.

The tragedy of high literature and philosophy becoming available to the common man is that it was never meant for the common man. It is a flowering fruit of the most gluttonous and superfluous excess. It was a way for noblemen and the supremely wealthy to flaunt their absolute superiority - by being able to dedicate their entire lives to something completely and entirely useless, this dedication being necessary if you ever wanted to master the craft, they could show all the plebs just how wealthy they were.

The true oldfags here all made it because they bought LINK years ago, and if they weren't retarded, they sold at least some near the top. Those oldfags can now become literary because they never have to work a day in their lives. They wont though. Succeeding at literature requires not only ultra-wealth, it also requires a good upbringing - something a poorfags parents never delivered, because these parents were at work for all of their childs childhood. Hence, those oldfags who are now rich will instead spend their ill-gotten gains on prostitutes and ugly modernist houses, and will still spend their time shitposting on mongolian basket weaving forums.

The most /lit/ job in the legal field is a law clerk. Hours are great and a huge percentage of your time is spent writing/editing in a very particular way, including applying a lot of philosophy/theory of language at times. If you can swing a Supreme Court clerkship, you are a fucking god among men because of just how steeped in theory your average assignment will be. Meanwhile in corporate if you ever get to actually write anything yourself, it will be incredibly mundane and often soul-sucking bullshit (eg. filing a response claiming something like "those children we poisoned have no standing because of procedural concern Y").

Software engineer here so a little different, hated it so much after I started. Spent every day wishing I had just became a teacher or going to work in a factory or something making fuck all money while having a relatively simple job with some nice free time. I barely had the energy to read after work especially after going to the gym and cooking so it took me many months to get through books, relied on audiobooks while commuting but could only listen simple fiction with a good narrator. Stuck with the job for the cash and got a nicer software related job which I enjoy that I get to work from home and have much more free time to read.

Rent of badly formatted text:

Jobs in legal academia could be pretty good, but there are caveats.

Administrators in legal academia don't write really. That isn't their job and many administrators as law schools and elite schools in general do not have legal credentials. The hours aren't so bad though, so if you can get into uni administration, admissions, etc., it might be nice, but it will not be very intellectual work. The rare dean who is also a prominent intellectual is the exception (e.g. Boalt's Chemerinsky). I honestly don't know how people like that find the time to do both. They're just built different I guess.

For legal academia in general, it really varies. The path to getting into legal academia is very long and difficult. You won't get there until you are in your thirties, likely mid thirties, at the very earliest, and up until that point you will probably have had to do something prestigious (in law prestigious means V100 or comparable biglaw, prominent boutique corporate law, big in-house corporate, federal judiciary, national public interest, and unicorn shit like particular positions in federal agencies, almost nothing else counts really) that also pays well, which means a few years biglaw minimum for 99% of eventual academics because other prestigious positions don't pay very well or are too hard to swing for almost everyone (2500 billable hours bear-minimum in most US markets that can support biglaw, forget about high-paying biglaw for the most part if you aren't in America, your pay will almost certainly be shit!).

If you aren't able to get into the academy without a phd on top of a JD, which is increasingly the case, you will also need to spend a ton of money on that phd program and teach (no scholarship $$$ for most doctoral programs) so the path there is likely pretty hellish and will leave you with no time. Once you get there you then have to fight for tenure and prior to getting tenure you won't have much freedom with what you teach, research, etc. Also, disregard all of this unless you went to a top school. In America that means NYU (if you do very very well), Chicago (if you do very well), Columbia (if you do very well), Harvard (if you do well), Stanford (if you do well), or Yale (just don't be dead last in the class). In Canada that means mostly just UofT. If you didn't go to one of those schools, academia is going to be almost impossible for you, with exceptions like Amy Coney Barret having networked perfectly after finishing #1 in their class.

>implying
This is just cope for people of the working class who want a reason for why their writing is subpar.
It hasn't been remotely true since industrialization. Before then yes, the masses were uneducated slaves or serfs and literature was reserved for the landed gentry.

Since 1800 on some of the best literature the world has produced came from the working class and the impoverished. Melville, the greatest American novelist, spent most of his life either whaling or working as a failing insurance agent. Hemingway lived off of journalism scraps maybe one rung on the ladder above homelessness before The Sun Also Rises was published. In the modern era, Cormac McCarthy couldn't even afford electricity or running water when he was in his 20s and early 30s. Ishiguro was a decidedly middle class social worker before The Remains of the Day reached universal acclaim.

Even before industrialization, Shakespeare who many consider the finest to ever write was the son of a leatherworker. But brainlets will point to Tolstoy and Proust and conclude that one needs to have been born with a silver spoon in order to produce anything worthwhile, when really they are minority in post industrial literature

[Anonymous No.20983501]

>>20983480
However, If you do manage to swing tenured legal academia, particularly at a prestigious school, you are basically set at that point and you will get paid good money to write about and teach almost anything you want until the day you die. The only way your life can be better is if you got appointed to the supreme court or circuit court.

What's more realistic is becoming some kind of a clerk (non-prestigious US federal clerkships are downright easy to get if you go to a T14 school and don't flop) and then later becoming a judge. You won't make huge money, but you'll be comparable to your engineer friends who don't move up to a leadership role, your benefits and hours will be insanely good, you get to retire early with a huge pension, and your work will be intellectually stimulating sometimes. Becoming a judge, even at the state level, is also the best way to getting into the Federal Judiciary, which is all of this but better because you are paid better and in practice almost never have original jurisdiction over stupid shit, only appellate jurisdiction. Academics also do not make more on average than federal judges despite the greater financial barrier to entry, though the pay ceiling is higher at better schools (like Elizabeth Warren was paid 500k~+ benefits her last year at Harvard).

If you try to slog through biglaw for the rest of your life you will never have any free time ever. Partners do even more work than associates somehow and have to spend much of their time wrangling clients at odd hours, so you have to pull 72 hour drug-fueled benders that much more often. Do not chase the money if you ever want to have free time or have a non-working weekend/holiday ever again. Run for in house/boutique if you want to stay private sector.

This is all just the vaguest half-knowledge, but let's try
>Melville, the greatest American novelist, spent most of his life either whaling or working as a failing insurance agent.
Didn't he basically go whaling in his twenties and then retired early and bought a farm where he did most of his writing until he ran out of money in his later years and had do some customs office job? Doesn't sound like the average working class man.
>Hemingway lived off of journalism scraps maybe one rung on the ladder above homelessness before The Sun Also Rises was published.
Don't really know anything about him, but his father was a physician, his parents were well-educated, so at least not a working class background.
>In the modern era, Cormac McCarthy couldn't even afford electricity or running water when he was in his 20s and early 30s.
I remember a quote on Wikipedia where he seemed to imply that he basically never worked in his life. He chose not to have a job to concentrate on his writing, however that is supposed to have worked.
>Ishiguro was a decidedly middle class social worker before The Remains of the Day reached universal acclaim.
If I remember correctly he did odd jobs for a while until he married. That then allowed him then to become a full time writer while his wife had a stable income.
I'm sure there a few examples of real working class writers but my guess is that the overwhelming majority have a bourgeois background combined with having found a way to escape the eight-hour-workday of traditional wage labor.

Which country are you in? If you are in the US or Canada and want to even consider it for 2023, you better start studying for the LSAT right now and sign up for a test. I did mine in the physical format, which was ultra gay but it also filtered a lot of people. The bar is much higher now with the online test. To have a decent shot of a clerkship, you better do exceptionally well on the test so you get into a T14 school. Also, no one feels that private law is worth it, the problem is that private "biglaw" in the USA is just about the only thing in the legal world in any country that pays the kind of money that people think lawyers make, so it draws law students like flies to honey, especially those with a debt load to pay back. For example, I had so much debt from going to a T6 school without scholarship that I had no other choice than big unless I wanted to be stuck in PI work + LRAP for a decade minimum.

>>20983544
Unless you make it bit in some way you will be forgotten no matter what. A judge in a common law country is actually one of the most surefire ways to leaving an intellectual legacy. Unlike with academia where there is a glut of work that is rarely cited if ever, a judge, particularly at the federal level, leaves an impact on future judges and lawyers through their decisions. On the basis of stare decisis, if you ever touch on a subject, your work becomes relevant to, if not legally binding upon, basically any similar future case. Future judges will be obligated to read and cite your shit or later opinions/academic works, etc. that themselves cite you.

How bad an undergraduate? As long as you are above a 3.0, you can go crush the LSAT (174 bare minimum if you are like 3.1 or something) and get into a T14, maybe even with a little bit of money even if you are not black/native american. If you are sub 3.0 and not black/native/hispanic, you might be totally locked out of the T14 at this point, including at schools that used to love super splitters like UVA (grade inflation and online LSAT with an easier distribution), which would make the possibility of good outcomes outside of the private sector much less likely and force you to do really well on a curve, which can never be assured no matter how hard you work at it.

Of course, if your work experience is particularly good, you can throw all of what I just said out the window. Get that 174+ and you have a good shot at T14+scholarship pretty much no matter what.

Also, the deadline is feb-april but admission are rolling. Even though in the post covid-era, early waves are smaller and you are a splitter which means later admission anyway, you want to get your shit in before January (before thanksgiving break is even better).

If that's the case, I would definitely say to go for it. Focus on getting a 174+ and writing a very compelling narrative about your work trajectory and how you have changed for your PS. Pour your heart out into every optional essay as well and write a "why x" essay for every school you apply to even if they don't ask for one at all.

There is a silver lining with law school though. The admissions process here is the most meritocratic of any type of grad school due to the LSAT and universal recognition of its near perfect predictive ability for bar passage. You have a better shot at law school than any other type of grad school. SCOTUS might also ban affirmative action this year, which could help you immensely if you aren't brown/are the wrong type of brown (don't listen to the "getting rid of the lsat" thing, they made it optional already if you take the gre and only a couple schools will take the gre along in any context).

If you are liable to at least get a 173+ go for it. Even if noT14 will have you due to being sub 2.5 or something, WashU will have you and may give you more than two years tuition in scholarship money. They are the only school worth attending that basically does not care about gpa at all, just boosting lsat medians. You probably won't get into the federal judiciary from there, but you can get good outcomes outside the private sector there if you do well (but critically you don't have to absolutely kill it from there).

Also, be sure to look into gpa floors before you apply.

Even Penn though may take you if your experience is that good, so shoot your shot up to them if your score is good enough, do not be discouraged.

If you want advice, tell me. I was an LSAT during law school (got a 180) and am still in the admissions game a bit despite being 5 years out from my 1L. I may have some ideas for how you can spin it.

But yes, you definitely have a small shot. It's much smaller than it would have been before covid, but you really owe it to yourself to rape the LSAT now and just try if your WE is substantial. If you can get a good score on the October LSAT (174 bare minimum) I would also suggest Northwestern Early Decision.

I'm probably outing myself too much here but I could use advice and don't have many people I can turn to so like I said, I was a terrible student. I graduated late and had barely passing grades, but I did get my degree and managed to do an internship at a small investment bank, which I did well at, before I graduated. They made a return offer, but I didn't like the job so I left and figured that I'd try another firm before I wrote off that field, so I got my first full-time job at another bigger but still, small firm, did really well there again, but found out I either didn't like working for small firms or didn't like the field so I worked there for a year and left. A family member had some health problems so I went home to help them out and worked in various manual labor jobs for anywhere from a few days to a few months while I applied to bigger firms. They didn't seem to want to hire me because I didn't have the grades or the brand to validate me. Then a friend of a friend offered me a job as a budget and finance officer at the same school I graduated from (this is probably the most strange detail of all imo), where I've been for the last 3 years now going on 4 years, mostly for lack of clear alternative direction. But I've been promoted 3 times, probably should've been 4 but COVID screwed up hiring and promotions, and now they tell me I'll be promoted or hired into the next level officer position next year since I'm basically running the show this year and supervising everyone. I actually really dislike this job as well, but it's made me more interested in public and civil service. legal theory, politics, that sort of thing. That's pretty much the whole story. I think I can get a high LSAT but my sense is that the perception would be what I do now is a solid step back from what I used to do and I've probably done it for too long. So you know, that year and a half and a high score might not be enough for them.

That's interesting because my research suggested the average age at T14 was 25 to 27 with only 10% to 10% being over 30.

I interned at a small investment bank for a summer, graduated late with bad grades, then worked at a different, bigger but still investment bank for a year, then I worked various manual labor jobs for anywhere from a few days to a few months while I applied to even bigger firms, but none of them wanted to hire me, and so lastly, I ended spent the last few years working in the finance and budget office of the college I graduated from. The manual labor stuff is just stuff I did for a while to be close to home and make some money (and it paid the same or more than finance and law), but I think on paper, working at the college looks like a big and confusing step back, but on the other hand, I've been promoted a bunch of times, supervise a whole department, and could be formally made a manager or asst. officer next year since right now I'm an officer in responsibilities but not name. That's it really. If you have advice, I would appreciate it.
