re: Life as a Lawyer Advice Needed

LSU if she wants to stay in-state, anywhere else if not. Could make an argument for Tulane if she wants to be in Nola because Tulane gives some good connections there. However, LSU runs the state outside of Nola as far as connections go.

If she wants to go out of state, go to the best one she can get into for reasonable money. Big market cities/firms are going to want to hire from T14 schools so she wants to shoot for those. Although, those big firms burn people out quick. Unless she’s an outlier, the standard biglaw experience is make a ton of money for 3-5 to pay off all your loans, buy a house, save some $$, and then bounce for a better quality of life job. Biglaw is notoriously unfulfilling for most.
