That's not fair. I'm a poli sci major. I have a 3.75 GPA and I LOVE to argue with my lib professors.

"That's not fair. I'm a poli sci major. I have a 3.75 GPA and I LOVE to argue with my lib professors."

That's nice. I did that too - even made Phi Beta Kappa while defending RWR against the "usual suspects".

One question....any plans yet for a societally-productive post-college career?

Start thinking about it (hopefully earlier than I did in my own life) because that PoliSci degree ain't worth a bucket of warm spit in the real world.

And NO, I do NOT recommend hitting the 'default' button and going to law school unless you have exhausted all other possibilities.

Why? Well, consider that 70% of all lawyers wish they were doing something else within 5 years of graduating. But that's not so easy after such an investment of time and $$$.

My standard advice is this:

Try out anything and everything you think you may like doing/be good at, BEFORE committing to law school. You may wind up saving yourself a whole lot of grief.

Take it from one who's 'been there, done that', kid (pronounced 'keeeeeeeeed', as Babe Ruth used to say)....
