Law students are a bunch a of spoiled rich kids who have no idea what the average person makes in this country. They think they have a God given right to make 200K a year.

Tell you what, if you find a small firm job anywhere that pays anything near that for an entry level position, post it here. If you do, I'm sure that firm's fax will literally melt due to the volume of responses. Sorry, my friend, small firm jobs are going for around $35k these days. You're luck if you can get $50k. Not exactly worth three years of LS and six figures of debt. Yes, I made this video because I’m “only” going to make 80k a year.

Since I'm neither spoiled nor rich and I support myself, in my first year of practice I had to couch surf because I couldn't afford the apartment I had lived in working part time and living off student loans. I have friends who did very well in school who, like myself, have to earn outside income to make ends meet because we're all in about $180K of debt. #realitycheck Um, I went to law school in Manhattan (and did average) and work at a small firm *in Manattan,* and I don’t make nearly $80K.

Congratulations on an excellent video... I think it is about time people in the U.S. recognize that the myth of "merit pay" as dictated by the ever so "fair invisible hand" of the market is nothing but right wing propaganda. MANY PEOPLE WORK MUCH FOR LITTLE... let's start the list with teachers. Fear not credit bureaus! I am currently in Law School and if it doesn't pay off the student loans, then some Bankruptcy Court will have to hear my elegantly concocted pro se plea. Hey!

Have you some place to eat? Well, then it can't be so bad, certainly not so much as to justify being bitter. Sooner or later what you learned will come in handy, even if not lucrative. esqnever – Realize that poverty is to a certain extent liberating… Have you some place to eat?

So keep the videos coming and consider me your fan!

People everywhere seem to think we all want big firm jobs with big salaries. I have no desire to work in a big firm; it doesn't matter. I would gladly take a job that pays $20K at this point. You are just contributing to the misconception there are plenty of law jobs out there--we "spoiled rich kids" just don't want them. My father drives a school bus and my mother is a homemaker. So no, I am not a "spoiled rich kid." And I have no job. This is what makes it more depressing for law school grads. People everywhere seem to think we all want big firm jobs with big salaries.

I just got my first acceptance letter to a Top 50 law school (though not T14), and considering that even grads from T14 schools are having trouble landing high-paying jobs, this is yet another wake-up call to law school novices like me. Unless I get a T14 acceptance, I will have to turn down these acceptance, since it seems the legal market in this country is going through a permanent correction. I guess setting up my own business is not looking too bad. Thank you for the video.
