three of these bullshit posts in a row

I don't like these blog entries, I'm not even sure that they're better than nothing. But here's another one on some things from today

There are a lot of blogs and message boards popping up out there for the disgruntled young attorney, one of my co-workers loves them, he reads me his favorite stuff at work. The issue people are having with law school these days can be boiled down to this: schools GREATLY exaggerate their post graduate employment statistics in order to lure potential students to take out six figure loans for tuition. (They criminally exaggerate the statistics. It really should be criminal. We should be writing our congressmen, because what they do with those employment statistics is nothing short of fraud.) And tuition has SKYROCKETED in the last decade. So now a lot of recent law school grads are out there with six figure student loan debt, and no job. And the worst part is that student loans can't be discharged via bankruptcy... so if I had $150,000 in student loan debt, I would probably move to Toronto, or maybe Mumbai.

I used to hear people say that there are too many lawyers in America, and after becoming one, I realize that those people are right. Society NEEDS lawyers. Just not as many as it has produced; and certainly not lawyers out there trying to make as much money as they think they are supposed to make.

(Fortunately, I am not in the position I just described... I loved law school, have mid-five figure debt, and did not expect a job upon graduation; I just wanted the time off from work)

I didn't even read this article about legalizing marijuana, but I saw it today after logging out from my e-mail. I'm in favor of legalizing it, but I think its sale should be tightly governed. It's not for everyone, but if it is marketed like Budweiser or Miller Lite, it is going to forced down the throat of every kid in America. I just think that marijuana is the type of thing where people should be allowed to make up their own minds about it. You almost want to cap the amount of profit a company can make from it to deter the modern day large scale American entrepreneur from marketing it. Don't make it about the money. (or else I'd just prefer it remain illegal)
