For the record, as someone who also went to a top ten law school (but fled the country almost two decades ago), being in law school with a gunner like AD would also drive me away from the profession. Hell, we had the managing partner of a huge BigLaw firm come and basically tell us we’d all become alcoholics with the…
Lawyer here. My dad, also a lawyer, used to say to me when I was growing up “I don’t know when it became a requirement that to be a lawyer you have to bitch about how horrible a job it is.” He’s right and I appreciate his advice since I love my job.
Things to avoid?
Lawyer here. Completely agree with your dad.
Whoa, who said anything about astronauts? I wanted to be a SPACEMAN, with laser guns and aliens and shit.
Caged? For artificial insemination? Coward! Sissy!
I like to think I got the best of both worlds: an English major with an ROTC contract. I got to take all the bullshit classes that make my nerdy little heart happy AND still have a paying job at the end of it.
My dad never pigeonholed me into one career, although I’m sure he’s still sad I couldn’t hit a curveball, or even a slow fastball. He did suggest I take up golf — longer career, no need to beat up your body — but that died the first time I hit the links, when my shots hit anything but the fairway.
A friend of mine was getting a degree in art history. She’s quite creative and can do many great things. However, when she started working for me and I taught her some accounting principles, she quickly changed her major, as she knew there are no jobs for bachelor degrees in art history.
When I was 8, I wanted to be a spaceman. Do you have any how many math classes that requires? Kids are stupid.
It’s important to have a job that makes a difference, boys. That’s why I manually masturbate caged animals for artificial insemination.
Oh god, these job conversations with Dad. I had entirely too many, and they were almost always the same. My father absolutely thought that his introverted, sensitive-to-rejection son should look seriously at careers in sales and management.
Heh, it’s so optimistic to think that there’ll be jobs left for our kids. Me, I’m preparing my kids for Thunderdome. Their practice with spears and spikes welded onto a dune buggy will definitely edge out anyone with a bachelors of arts degree in 2030.
The importance of draft picks is amplified a hundred times over at the moment of selection, so to sit there and watch that pick go by will serve a hearty reminder that Roger Goodell is a power-mad dictator who must be destroyed.
Someone hasn’t been to Nashville for a game...
The other side of it though is that Boudreau now has had this in two head coaching positions- it was the same here in Washington, he could get a team into the playoffs and make it look easy, but put them in front of a Game 7 and they’d wilt.
Read the replies. People are just giving it to him.
Adam will be taking Drake to a Thai brothel?
