Ergh I’ve run out of people to tell about my stoopid LSAT score. Now I have to think about whether or not I can git my tay-el into one of those schools. Those schools, Harvard, Stanford, Yale…names I only know from teen movies and the like. Can I paint myself black for a scholarship? I most likely can’t get in, since they take gpas from 3.77 and up and the top 5% of the LSAT folk. Gee, I’m in the lowly top 10% of the LSAT, and only had a 3.5 undergrad gpa, sigh. I have NO IDEA what they’ll think of my MA degree with 3.52 gpa, AA degree with 3.86 gpa, Hispanic status, or the over 7 years of employment law experience with the Labor Dept. If I did get in, how the hell would I pay for it? What, besides gloat and later feel smug, would I do with that education? Why the fuck am I going to go to school now that I’m 34?

I’m not about to take one of those killer jobs that law grads always seem to be jumping for – where you pay your dues working 80 or more hours a week as a law slave. I’m pretty much a 40 hour per week man, and I feel like I’ve paid my damn dues already. I can take less money, far less money, if I can retain my life and sanity. Well, sanity…can’t lose what you don’t have :)

Did I mention that I did well on the test? Whee! I was hoping all the dumb people would take it in October, and they did!

I suck at schmoozing and have principals. Most causes that require lobbying efforts aren't good ones (in my tree-hugging view).

well - you could work for other tree-huggers. For every cause out there that you hate, there is an opposite (tho not always equal) side that opposes them.

anyway - that's the only job i really know where you can make buckets of money and not really do any hard work. Unless you can sing? I think they're having new trials for A.I..... maybe in a city near you!! ;)

I could spin around a pole partially dressed - for the kids, of course.
