She writes this blog, but still manages to fit in that she went to a T1 every 5 minutes or so. You felt the need to tell everyone that you have money in the bank and how well you are doing. I know you were trying to prove a point, but I think you let that shit slip in on more conversations then you don't. It starts with what your LSAT numbers are. Then what school you went to. What pretty young man/woman you are banging. What car you drive. How much money in the bank. Elitist pigs every last one. Lawyers always feel the need to prove how smart they are, and how inadequate they want you to feel. I don't mind the elitist, I just can't handle the hypocrites. If you think you're better than everyone, I don't care. However, be up front about it.

If that were not the case, there would be no point to blogs like this one.<br /><br />1:50: You're wrong to think that hostility to the industry is limited to people who have "failed at something." Law school has worked out very well for me personally (I went to a top school, now work at a top firm, and I have more in the bank than I do in student loans), but I still agree with the majority of what's being said on this blog. It's not that no one should go to law school--I still think that my decision made sense given certain factors that made it much less expensive for me than it would have been otherwise and the fact that I actually want to be a lawyer--but given the enormous cost, it doesn't make sense for the vast majority of law students.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-54517949018552030752010-11-04T05:55:49.074-04:002010-11-04T05:55:49.074-04:00I wonder if the IP address of the poster in defens...I wonder if the IP address of the poster in defense above is from the same place as the subject above.

She has nothing to do with that."<br /><br />Uh...yeah, she does. I know lawyers are bad at economics, but ever hear of supply and demand? Well, Ms. Levin's business is feeding off of (and therefore increasing) the demand for law school seats. What happens when demand increases? Price (tuition) goes up! What happens when demand goes way up? The cartel increases the supply (seats) and the price (tuition), which means people like Ms. Levine can increase demand for their middlemen leech services by showing how she helps people get into law school ("last year I got a 150 LSAT into [Random T3]." Well, of course you did, since all T3s increased in size to meet the artificially high demand.<br /><br />So she's a part of the vicious capitalist cycle here, see? And I don't care what other people charge, $3400 to help people get where 95% of them are going anyway is a con. It may have nice curtains and a shiny floor, but grifters and grifters; they've all read the same book.<br /><br />For anyone reading, I'll do the exact same service for $1,000 AND you'll get my honesty for free.J-Doggednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-82609501687130630222010-11-03T23:21:03.098-04:002010-11-03T23:21:03.098-04:00My beef with her is that she is feeding the indust...My beef with her is that she is feeding the industry. If someone is not law school material and she helps them get it, that doesn't guarantee that they will finish and find a job. So, they'd be better off without her.

I just don't understand why everyone is so angry at Ann Levine, instead of the high price charged by law schools. She has nothing to do with that. I imagine most of her clients are going to apply and go to law school regardless of whether they use her service, she is just helping them be the very best they can be. I was very lucky when I applied--I had many people around me who were able to offer advice and look at application to offer feedback.

So much hatred and venom towards law and law school and Ann Levine. I check out Ms. Levine's website--I never used the service when I went to law school, but it seems like she provides a perfectly good service for people who want it. And much less then other people charge. There are many services I don't buy--like pedicures--but I don't begrudge people who get them or the people give them for a living. Law can be a perfectly noble profession. Or it can't be. It's up to you. With all the horror and cruelty in the world, Angel the lawyer picks on Ann Levine, a person who provides a quality service to thos who want it?

ALL of it points to "law school isn't worth it".<br /><br />Yet, nobody seems to be listening. On top-law-schools.com you occasionally see a 0L joke about the bad economy and not getting a job. Nobody takes it seriously though, it's just a joke. Even the people not going to a t14 aren't heeding the deafening cacophony of warnings.<br /><br />Go to med school, PA school, nursing, PT, etc. There are sectors out there that are actually *growing*. Positions are actually in demand and so you don't need a minimum IQ of 130 in combination with an obsessive workaholic personality.<br /><br />If you really want a doctorate but med school is intimidating, go to pharmacy school. Get your PharmD. They ALL graduate with jobs and 110k is the norm.
