What kind of lawyer do you want to be? Criminal, corporate, civil, etc.
Do they let people who have run over pedestrians be lawyers?

Have no current plans on where I would work. Just need to find my strengths in law and figure it out later on. You don't get to do electives till 3rd year.SuperJail Warden wrote:

Zique: I'd choose law school. Could've gone on to do an honours and then a PhD but decided to do a JD instead. How are everything with your studies? Have you received your PhD yet? Hope all goes well for you.
I guess I'd expect a country colonized by criminals to have decent law programs. And there's more to life than investment banking and law!Cybargs wrote:

No, I do not plan to practice in the USA and I am not desperate to be part of the US workforce.

The CEO's son just got accepted into a top law school here so I'm just going off what he's told me, but the way he made it sound was that unless you go to a top school and finish at the top of your class there really isn't much in the way of prestigious jobs out there. But that's just for the US market...which I know you desperately want to be a part of.
And I got no debt coz I got a loving family that would support my academic ambitions.
You'd probably have a better chance getting a green card through a work visa than the diversity lottery. I'm amused that you think it's as easy as applying and then getting one though. I personally know at least 5 people who have been in the "green card" process for over 4 years. It's fucking stupid and tough and things like leaving the country for vacations could possibly jeopardize your application status. It's fucking DUMB.
You should look into counseling youth on why it's a bad idea to lie on the internet. You have a well of experience to draw from.
*wealth
Cybargs has a wealth of experience to draw from. jezus Kennings, we talkin about practice?
it may be the only wealth he acquires, but holy fuck - why don't you go teach 'Strayans how to talk English, you learn-ed english speaking fuck . . .

hahaha that's what I get for popping in and out of here. Fair play.
Diversity lottery is extremely biased towards which country you're from. I know about 3 australians who all hit the green card lottery within one year. Work visa's were lucky due to the FTA with Murika, we got 10k slots to ourselves but only about 3000 people apply lol.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

I wouldn't really want a green card for the US, fuck paying taxes to your government when I don't even live there.
Yeah naw thnx.U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, the rules for filing income, estate, and gift tax returns and paying estimated tax are generally the same whether you are in the United States or abroad. Your worldwide income is subject to U.S. income tax, regardless of where you reside.
edit: If there's other citizenships I'd probably try and get an EU one due to convenience (UK and Ireland have pretty straight forward standards).

My sister has been working for a few law firms, and I know a few lawyers.
Legal is currently a bloodbath, the govt is pushing everyone into arbitration, people are being cut left right and centre, I've been told of senior Sydney lawyers who haven't seen the inside of a courtroom for years.
But if lawyering doesn't work out it may be reasonable training for some other non-hipster career.

Only in Ohio would a pretty young girl get bullied for being Chinese. Why is it that whenever a teen kills themselves over bullying, the school is located in some rural farm town or secluded suburb? I bet her family were big supporters of the right to own guns. The dad probably had Rambo fantasies about violently protecting his family from dangerous city people. Poor girl.
I'd dare say rural areas in the US are similar to rural areas here, which have higher suicide rates all round than urban areas.

The implications are clear.
you should move to some rural farm town
I'd hardly call a 70k population city rural. and 2 others are questionably rural as well.
Also based on your arbitrary density figure, the following American cities are also rural?
Phoenix 2,798 per sq mi
Austin 2,653 per sq mi
Indianapolis 2,270 per sq mi
Jacksonville 1,120 per sq mi
Charlotte 2,457 per sq mi
Fort Worth 2,181 per sq mi
El Paso 2,543 per sq mi
Memphis 2,053 per sq mi
Nashville 1,265 per sq mi
Oklahoma City 956 per sq mi
Louisville 1,837 per sq mi
I could go on...

Finally, got all my grades in college. I got a B in chemistry, seriously was expecting a C on this, but a B was a real shocker.
That's a total of 2 B's and 2 A's which gives me a 3.5 GPA, OH YES!!! I am so happy today.
