不要怪我mean,这个帖子吵了半天都是空谈,楼上诸位高手倒是拿出点数据,实例什么的,

象虎哥的帖子,虽然有的结论下的极端点,但是基本都有有用的信息,

看了几十个回帖空谈点人生理想,楼主你就敢放心大胆的去读tier2了?

最近压力比较大,说话冲点,得罪勿怪

hehe, chongzi,  the fact is that I am already in 2L at a tire 2 law school. I welcome any suggestion and advice for my career planning.

我觉得找工作的时候，我老爹的话特安慰人：“此处不留爷，自有留爷处，处处不留爷，爷还回家住。”我是不知道这原本的出处的。别担心，只要不放弃，你一定行的。

那位哥们说出了我的心声呀, 还是有人能理解我们这种人的. 可能很多人会觉得我这种人没有理想,就是个混饭吃的loser, 没有办法呀, 年轻的时候也想过要怎么样怎么样,但是干什么都得先能让父母,老婆孩子能过下去呀.

再说句功利的话,好像去教书钱也不少, 所以你的愿望很可能实现而且生活无忧.

其实维持生记是成长中最无奈的事了。呵呵。 我也是拉。相信这也是绝大多数人的生活啊。（我们在美国的中国人更惨，还有个美国户口问题。）我一个人吃饱了，全家不饿，都还有诸多限制，何况你有老婆孩子的生活。

我是顶讨厌loser这词。谁也没权利这样judge人。各人情境有别，对幸福快乐权衡的标准也不同。在坛子里不仅不相帮，反而相轻，实在没必要。

中国有句古语，钱财乃身外之物。生不带来，死不带去。其实，也没必要把钱看得太重。做自己喜欢的事还是挺重要。比如李安，幸好没有去跟着赶时髦，去学个计算机，否则，也不过就是计算机领域就多了个“多他不多，少他不少”的人。

什么样的数据和实例比较有说服力？

譬如,我认识一对yale law school毕业的夫妇,一个当了8年美国总统,年收入400,000,其间老婆housewife无收入,现在老婆也在找同样的工作,blabla

说明yale毕业生平均年收入200,000,OK?

The truth is many of the "non-firm" job options such as clerkship, teaching, and top international non-prof orgs, at least in the U.S., are only for the lucky few. Namely, you have to be graduating from Yale, Harvard, Stanford, etc., or at the top (1-25% depending on the school) of your class to have a realistic shot. This is true for both American and international students. While there are perhaps 100 Chinese JDs (per year) graduating from Top 20 schools, the number of people who actually fit into this description is amazingly small. I'd say, maybe 20 among these 100 have a realistic shot.

Sure, we all hear about Jds who become Judges, Senators, Presidents, CEOs, etc. But we also hear about lottery ticket winners. The question is not whether these roles in life are desirable, ambitious, or idealistic. It is whether such roles are attainable by a Chinese who is pursuing a JD degree in one of the non-elite schools with a family to support, and a loan to pay off.

Hopefully, in the near future, more and more Chinese J.D. will involved in the politics here in U.S. or back home.  There will be more Chinese judges, senators or governer here in United States.
