Harvard 3Ls Can't Find Jobs

Do people really believe that, even at the top law schools, they're entitled to a 160K job? No profession other than law allows 25 year olds to make that kind of money with no relevant work experience and by judging them on one year of grades and a name. We are basically handed summer associate positions at EIP next fall- that is a deal that is too good to be true and anyone who has even a toe in the real world should have known it wasn't going to last.

Three Texas 1L's wrote an op-ed about the lack of "practical education" they think they are receiving. Comments especially interesting. Also see the story on Above the Law.
