Law School Scam: More students fewer and fewer jobs!

[*Nobleman*]

Thats why i am a strong advocate of studying traditional subjects, best career options after uni.

Maths
science
medicine
accountancy
engineering etc

If you wanna be unemployed after uni than study political science, law, history, sociology etc.

You can hardly put law in with the rest of those subjects. Its a well respected, vocational degree, and if you have a good CV you're unlikely to be unemployed. There's opportunities for law graduates in many areas outside the legal world.

You need to put it in the list above accountancy lol!

nobleman, its different in the states a little bit... you can get a job after Uni studying whatever it just depends if it is related to your major

my dad got his BA in civil engineering, he never used it and did things like having his own business, being supervisor in diff. companies that dealt in financial and stuff like that

oh and with this economic downturn, college grads have a easier time finding employment than those with experience for obvious reasons thats not to say the economy has not hurt graduates cause it has

im a political science major but im lucky because the most powerful city in the world is right here and i can get a job either in the gov't, with org in the city or something like that

i plan to work but have the gov't or a company i work for pay for some part of my tuition for grad school

the only jobs that are safe in the USA are in the medicine field and even teaching hasn't been hit by the downturn

engineers and IT people have been knocked off the boat just as much as anyone else has

[sadeboi]

Columbia or Yale...I'm coming for you

And yea...International Law is it

warya whats your major

[sadeboi]

I'm triple majoring ina adeer..but one is not hard..and kind of had like 40% of it done before I started uni through college-highschool program.

who told you that engineers are the cause of societies to be created thus fairly independent of the society in fact the ever growing demands and problems arising makes the society almost completely dependent on engineers i cant say the same for a politician

but keep you chin up Africa might finally go for Democracy and you guys can implement European/American Laws in the mother Land Africa

im not insinuating engineers are not independent of society, im just telling it like it is esp here in the US

i've been reading unemployed ish here in the USA man, some engineers have been layed off esp the tenured ones and those in the local public sector

graduates are more resourceful for lower wages

and IT companies have had to cut costs meaning cut jobs, i even seen blogs/videos of people who graduated in 06/07 already laid off from the IT companies they worked for...IT salaries have been going up also so they have to cut their costs

im not making it up wallahi

teaching and medicine have been mostly unaffected by the recession

there is always demand for engineers, doctors, and teachers though

so even though engineers have been laid off, they still have a better job outlook than a lot of people...esp those who were in manufacturing and without a degree

80% of law students dont end up becoming lawyers. Its not a skill in demand, simple as that.

Also accountancy, be it chartered accountants are the last to be fired. There services are actually in demand, despite the recession.

Ok mate, a little different in the UK. Most poli science and politics majors are known as duck degrees, no propects after graduation, only like the top tier grauates go on to work for govt and NGO's. Teaching is a superb career , massive demand in the UK and a well respected profession

Law is not a vocational degree... it is more of an Academic Degree... Once you have completed a straight LLB course, you are still not a qualified lawyer or a solicitor...

I agree, stick to traditional degrees or vocational ones that land you straight into a career... like NHS courses or Teaching

Ps: i talk from experience.... Social Sciences

Exactley my point mate . I got tons of family and freinds that struggle to find decent jobs after uni, becuase their degrees were not vocational or traditional. Sometimes its worth going uni for longer, just to get a quality degree.

Interesting, but i've known this for awhile, only those who graduate from the top law schools earn real money. If i were to do law, i'd get into patent law.

Snoop

fah is right, engineers have been hit hard by this recession as well, and the economy is saturated with unemployed and experienced engineers that it's difficult for new grads. In fact, i know this guy who's doing supply chain management even though he has an engineering degree. That's the good thing with an engineering degree, your not really limited to engineering especially if you have good business and math skills.

Sxb lawyer is all about the exprience, no one is gonna pay you a 100 thousand to a rookie lawyer, you have to earn your respect and win 50% of your cases, then you may be famous and ge the big bucks.

90% of America's presidents were lawyers or were in law school.
