Sep. 4th, 2002 10:04 pmThe cracks are already starting to show in the law school class. I suspect that one of our comrads has already fallen.
He may be a lucky one. At least he's gone down in the period of time wherein one can get a 90% refund of his tuition, sell back the books, and walk away with pocketbook, if not ego, intact.
It's the people who stick in there through the first year, even part way through the second, and then disappear. Those are the ones who amaze me. So much debt, so much time, all for naught. I suppose there is the realization that you don't want to do this, but there's so much that one can do with the degree that isn't just lawyering. These people are at least grownups with other lives to fall back on. I remember the quitters from John's stint in law school. They were lost, wandered. Didn't really form a next plan very well.
I know there are times that my sheer stubbornness will be all that keeps me going. But so far it isn't that hard.
