I thought it might be an interesting exercise to ask a few questions about what people expected from their careers in the short, mid and long terms. I wish we would have done this the first week, but now is as good a time as any. At the end of the semester, we can take the survey again and see if anything has changed. If anyone has any categories to add or can make the survey better, please do.

Where do you expect to be working...

Now...same question, but what if debt was not (or is not) a factor?

Comments- Ron, Stephen and Rory trying to figure out how to make the charts work correctly. Need to update the plug-in.

This is good stuff. I was curious what people's non-law jobs would be, and also could we should probably get "law professor" in the mix as a category so I took the liberty of adding it.
