This is a very convenient way to avoid scrutiny of your thoughts.<br /><br />Ms. Author is a 2011 Princeton graduate who did not bother to investigate how the LSAT is scored, and who cannot be trusted to have sufficient curiosity to wonder why it is that enrollments have declined.

She shouldn't be allowed to write about law school.<br /><br />Probably about 50% of law students now have summer jobs that actually pay. Perhaps 93% of those student got jobs (if slinging lattes counts as a job).

(The fifth chart is nonsense).<br /><br />These four charts are relevant only if you believe the old investment cliche that the best time to buy is when everyone else is selling. It has been several years, and I am not quoting exactly, but I will not forget watching Jim Cramer on CNBC clawing at his suit and scalp for emphasis and shrieking things like: "It is a bargain!"; "There has never been a better time to buy."; "It is solid."; "The best time to buy is when everyone else is selling."; "Don't believe the doom-sayers."<br /><br />He was talking about Bear Stearns.dybbuk123https://www.blogger.com/profile/08142974443119061724noreply@blogger.com
