同意.见过太多回国拿Global pay的JD. 可以进外所甚至投行,咨询公司, 外所的前提是好学校加BAR, 某外所中国的PARTNER有一半Columbia回国的JD.

是哪个所啊？

我家里拿不出这么多钱，我只有自己赚几年钱才考虑出去的事情

考JD有没有年龄限制呢？

As far as I know, they don't have age limitation. But a lawyer in Netherlands tells me that if you cannot finish your law school stuy by 28 years old, you'll be too late for law. I generally agree with that except the exact age. I'm not sure about that. By certain age, if you can't get into law-related work, I wouldn't think you can get it later. It requires too much energy and wisdom. It's not something you can reach in your middle age.

Not necessarily.  There r several middle-ages in my section. They are doing pretty well, and all seem to have gotten nice summer jobs.  If you are currently doing law-related work, especially in an international firm, that might actually help.  Don’t wait for too long though, the retention rate is not high in almost every firm- many ppl who could not make to partnership would leave in 10 ys- it might be awkward to be a senior (in age) junior (in position) associate.

还是早点好，精力比较足，不然很累人

Well, it might be tough, but there is still hope left.

Everyone who has a dream should fight for it.

可是现在不是说国内缺少涉外和跨国公司、证券交易上市，知识产权方面的法律人才吗？读完JD回国主攻这方面就没出路？？？一旦入了这些行业，投入的成本也是应该拿得回来的吧...不然大家都考去读JD干什么？我就不信个个都能留在美国当律师的！

冒昧的问一句，你不去，国内考过司法考试，凭你的英文功底和个人精神，前景如何？先看机会成本再看前景

从五年前开始知道这个考试，到开始准备，到最后放弃。

身边的L友有人去了JD，有人去了master，有人去了IB，有人去了MNC。

我一直在想，到底是什么原因让我们这些当初一起准备，水平相当的人，最后的结果却这么不同。

大概因素有两个：

1：钱。去读书的不一定是有钱的，但是有钱的几个人都去了。无可否认，要花父母这么大一笔钱，很多人还是要看看能不能过意的去。很多人喜欢说有贷款或者少许奖学金，其实大多数人如果觉得自己不舍得花父母这么多钱，一开始也就不会申请，自然也就谈不上什么贷款之类的了。

2：期望。最后去读书的人，大多去了算不上特别牛的学校。（诸如我们整天挂在嘴边的YHS之类的）。那些期望过高的人，（比如我之类的），最后基本都留下来工作了。面对现实，我们很多人都是一个普通学校，一个普通家庭，一个普通的工作经历，凭什么YHS要录取你？这和MBA不一样，MBA很多学校的目标就是培养国际商业精英，L-shcool可没说自己要培养国际法律精英。JD Program中的国际学生基本都少的惊人。所以，对于绝大多数人，摆正你的目标比什么都重要。Remember, nothing can guarantee your offer from Yale, unless you find a medicine to cure AIDS or you're Mother Teresa.

be honestly, I will go for law school next year and am preparing for LSAT in Sep, 2009. I know it maybe too late for me to do so, but some chinese medical school grad do their residence in usa while in their mid 30-40th. if they can handle it, i believe there should be no problem for me neither,coz working in american hospital also requires lots of energies.
