I chose one of those ...Yes, they will choose them. I chose one of those majors simply because I was too young to understand what I was being sold there and I didn't realise just how huge the disconnect was between being good at studying and being good at real life. People commit to a major often before they're 20 years old, usually before having a serious job. At that point in life, we think being interested in something and being good at it is enough to make it a worthwhile use of our time, and god knows that no one in the college hierarchy is going to tell you any different. It's only later that it becomes apparent that liberal arts is a distraction from reality.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-26048858346763716662013-05-04T05:45:23.660-06:002013-05-04T05:45:23.660-06:00Law schools are cash cows for universities.

There is a substantial surplus thanks to all that left over tuition money that's fed into other programs and colleges within the universities.

Will people choose cheaper routes to these degrees armed with this knowledge? Like community college first instead of the full four year university liberal arts degree?

English, History, Poly Sci and Philosophy majors?"<br /><br />They can't get rid of those and remain universities....the Law School is a professional school for graduate-level students, not a branch of an undergraduate program. The former teaches a small number of students, while the latter teaches most of the students who go through the college system (in most states undergrads have to take at least one course from each of the four majors R A B listed.) <br /><br />I understand the hatred of places like Cooley - they promise a well-paid life and give nothing useful in return. I'm just not getting why the traditional university has to sink with the law schools.Strelnikovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660962615198939441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-4201797406343421722013-05-03T22:59:40.954-06:002013-05-03T22:59:40.954-06:00If only the useless majors would disappear, or at ...If only the useless majors would disappear, or at least be relegated to hobbyist status they deserve.<br /><br />I have a question perhaps someone can explain: Why exactly is it so terrible that Ben Davidson got to "income partner"? Yes, I understand its likely a position he cannot get promoted above.<br /><br />But so what? Isn't "income partner" still better than associate and even better paid?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
