That is because the statistics only showed 1 person as being unemployed. That would have been me because I was in the process of moving from one state to another. However, the school never made any attempt at contacting me to find out what I was doing. How could the school have known that I was unemployed without contacting me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618663158161665199.post-2461386051769962822012-06-25T13:39:55.702-04:002012-06-25T13:39:55.702-04:00Excellent post!

If students knew the game was rigged from the beginning, they might think twice before signing for those six figure loans. I know I would have. Of course, my parents wore rose-colored glasses and always told me life was what I made it - that it didn't matter what school I went to or who I knew as long as I worked hard and graduated in the top of my class. Now that they've had to spend $100K to help their once vivacious child, who is now despondent and bitter, get out of the vicious student loan debt cycle, they're singing a different tune.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618663158161665199.post-44180284315337095042012-06-25T00:27:20.272-04:002012-06-25T00:27:20.272-04:00Great questions!

Most law school deans would say "yes" because their friends and family members would probably have connections (including said dean) and resources most other law students don't have. <br /><br />Otherwise, it's a great list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
