今天在美国学生法律博客上看到一个关于tier2的评论，现实不容乐观 - ChaseDream

I guess my only advice is that, if you go to a tier 2 law school, you should lower your career expectations. The firms everyone talks about are completely out of reach unless you finish in the top five to ten percent. The rest of you will have to take $10-$20/hour jobs, which will eventually turn into $55,000-$70,000 jobs. If you’re borrowing too much to live on that salary, then, well, you’re basically screwed.
The good news is that if you’re not shooting for top 5-10%, you don’t really need to worry about grades. I’m top 25% and I didn’t get a single advantage on the market. I got the same kind of job my bottom 10% friend got.
Finally, don’t take any shit from your professors. First of all, know that they’re ripping you off. Tier 2 professors make well into six figures by overcharging you for worthless degrees. It’s one thing if Arthur Miller wants to yell at you in class. The education he’s providing is about to Vault you into a $200,000/year job. But if Arthur Tier2 tries to pull that crap then just tell him that you paid your $40,000 tuition, and although you’ve accepted your low paying slave wage job fate, you’re not going to put up with their abuse.
All in all, if you’re going to a tier 2, you’ve made a terrible mistake. It will destroy your pocket book, but try not to let it destroy your hope for the future, or your belief in justice and fairness. Remember, tier2 schools may be evil, but the world is still decent.

TOP的学校每个人都想去,考试也是每个人都想考好的.但是如果能力有限,或者有硬伤,去不好TIER1的,我也不会觉得有那么万劫不复.

始终相信多年工作经验和个人长期的努力能够祢补TIER2带来的很多遗憾.

中国学生还有必要争论这种问题吗？我们自己的法学院排名和工作机会的关系不是跟美国一样吗？越有名气的学校去好律所的机会越大。多新鲜阿。连我们这个法律领域并不十分发达的国家都有给普通学校的毕业生生存的余地（当然你不能都往北京挤），更何况美国了。美国一样有很多中小型律所付不起t14毕业生要求的工资，也非常需要具有双语能力的律师的。除非你死气白赖就要赖在纽约挣16万美元。况且，你们比美国本土律师有更大的优势，那就是回国抢自己人的饭碗。这问题是问了又问，解答了再解答。干脆置顶算了。
