I think after all this I'll be going off to finance. At least they wanted me in these troubled times.

Most of us have relevant jobs you fucking noob.

Get your massive head out of your ass and get the fuck out of here.
hey! go easy on him pal, I'm sure his job is MORE relevant to him...really utilizing the skills required to be a maker of 14000 posts on a high-school forum, despite graduating half a decade ago.

i only dream of having his magnetic personality, which exudes itself from his plethora of troll-ish posts

Firstly, it's in a field relevant to your degree. Really don't know how you'd get employed by any respectable firm with those editing skills. What I really want to ask, though, is why the hell would you choose a legal job instead of one relevant to your degree in the first place? The only two scenarios I can picture are;


(a) During your university period you couldn’t find a job in the relevant field, essentially making you a hypocrite.

Or,

(b) you’re a dumb-arse that chose a legal job over one that would have been more relevant to you, due to whatever positive social preconceptions attached to the field of law. Marking you as a shallow person who is willing to sacrifice self-improvement in your area of study for the right to say ‘I’m a law clerk/paralegal’.

I’d have to say that the latter is probably the most accurate as 14,000 posts (as others have said) on a high schoolers forum would suggest you fit into that mould quite well.



Anyway to you fourth years out there best of luck, I just hope when it’s my turn the financial environment improves a bit. You guys make it sound asif finding employment anywhere right now is a pipedream D=.

something every big law firm can relate to:



What? Enslaving some jews and making them build stuff for you?

While I do admit the jewyness level of many law-firms is high, I hardly think any law firm wants to exclusively acquire them, when there are so many asians that will do it at half the price in half the workspace.
