After you graduate? - Nubblies.net Forums

Mr. Blonde · 08-31-2005, 05:45 PM

I know some of you are graduating either in the winter here or next spring. What are you doing? I think i'm going to go to grad school at IUPUI in indianapolis, and hopefully get a job as a firefighter in indy while i'm working on that. I just did a preliminary application over the phone w/ them.

Ugly Bastard · 08-31-2005, 06:29 PM

God I have no clue. I'm planning on taking the LSAT this October and hopefully apply to law schools. I need a lot of things to reverse for me (financially speaking) before that becomes a reality.

I really have no clue, and it scares me.

yeah, i hear you on that one. the whole thing i wrote up before i kind of pulled out of my ass in the last week, so it's pretty tentative. I considered law school, but thats always something that I could do later in life, and i hear that everybody who does it hates it anyways. The only reason i would do it is because of the money, and i don't feel like takinga job just for the money now.

except you're going to be like tens of thousands in debt by the time you graduate. i'm just saying do some attorney exp. like do some shadowing or something before you spend that much on something you may hate.

08-31-2005, 08:54 PM

I'm taking the LSAT in the spring, then law school, but there's still a little voice in my head telling me to go to grad school and study economics instead... so we'll see where life takes me.

Ugly Bastard · 08-31-2005, 09:00 PM

Blonde, for the record, you can do a lot more than just "be an attorney" if you graduate from law school.

Mr. Blonde · 08-31-2005, 09:05 PM

Bastard, for the record, what exactly do you plan to do with it then?

Niger Angelus · 08-31-2005, 09:08 PM

Penis patroler.

ninjaface · 09-01-2005, 01:16 AM

I might try to get some type of internship. But I don't know.

theMerciless1 · 09-01-2005, 11:33 AM

UB and FC, look into some princeton review or Kaplan courses for the LSAT. i did some research on the test 2 years ago and got a lot of advice to take those courses. i also had a friend trhat worked for princeton review and said that it was extremely helpful to most people.

Ugly Bastard · 09-01-2005, 12:54 PM

Maybe teach college courses? What do you think Garner's degree was in? Just a Juris Doctor law degree - the same one I hope to get.

You can work for corporations as a patent attorney and never even set foot in a courtroom, but rather just spend time sitting in a corporate office making loads of cash.

It's not like you go to law school, and BAM, you're helping some redneck settle his divorce a week later. There's a lot you can do...

Exactly. I never want to try a case in my life. I'd either want to work in corporate law or for the Fed... either way something more related to traditional finance than law and order type shit.

fancymeghan · 09-01-2005, 02:42 PM

i'm planning on working after the bachelor degree in psych. it'll probably be in some metal health place listening to people's shit (and pretending i care) for a while and then more school.

maybe i'll get married.

and then i get to research insurance premiums.

bachelors doesnt get you jobs in the mental health world.

Beebs · 09-01-2005, 04:37 PM

Also FC and Blonde, I'm sure you both know this, but I believe that the LSAT works by taking your average score, not your best score if you take it more than once, so don't take it if you aren't totally ready.

09-01-2005, 04:43 PM

I was aware of that, but thanks.

bloodyfart · 09-01-2005, 08:04 PM

Carnivorous Flavor · 09-01-2005, 08:22 PM

this i know.
with a bachelors, you'll get a job, but it'll suck.

i'm planning on taking some time off to work and get some experience and a little bit (case managers make shit) of money.

there are a lot of grad programs who want applicants to have some experience in the mental health world. chances of getting in....upgrade.

SittinOnDubsWGW · 09-03-2005, 05:59 PM

apply for a shit ton of different federal agencies, debate on if I want to get my Masters now or later.

Going to a DEA Special Agent Orientation on the 15th.
