I can’t believe I actually read some of that thread before i just started scrolling through pages. I kept waiting for HDD trolling and probation, but that post was for a different poster in the 2077 thread.

Really tempted to go into that thread, say "most defendants are guilty, even poor ones", and then run.

My take is that hiring a Harvard professor as your criminal defense attorney is generally a bad idea because they are probably bad at being a lawyer. Hire done white collar crime dudes.

Seriouspost: lawyers are mostly rationalizing, rear end covering weasels with broken moral compasses. This is because they represent people and people are horrible. Or they represent governments or corporate/capital interests, which are even worse.

Formally accepted into the MS Finance program. I will work with the program coordinator tomorrow to apply to a different program and then transfer my application to the MSF one (which technically closed June 1). I don't think my boss is going to be happy with me moving to part time, but I don't really care because he can't pay me enough to keep me full time anyways.

The first two classes are econometrics for finance majors (which is less rigorous or in depth than the econometrics I took for my BS) and a class that's mostly how to use excel to do data analysis. Both of those are right up my alley, although I am rusty. Classes start the 24th. I'm excited and hopefully free of this crushing profession. It's going to be great to have classes that aren't graded competitively.

My brother got out of engineering to grab a finance bachelor since it's hugely helpful. Even I considered it even though I feel very done with uni. It's probably a smart move and you're a smart guy, I hope it works out for you.
