As I said after I graduated I went to law school. Even from the start I hated it, but I pushed and pushed anyways. Where did it get me? A bad case of depression, two failed courses due to inattendance, a nasty drug addiction or two, and the aforementioned debt.

Jesus loving christ. I just met some ditz who I went to high school with in my Bar/Bri class. She mentioned that she has a job lined up to replace the only immigration lawyer for ~30% of Alaskan boroughs. That's a shitton of Russians she automatically gets as clients right out of law school because her boss when she was an intern (her future boss's ex-coworker) decided to take several bribes and get disbarred. And she went to a bottom of the shitpile TTT. I want to stab her with an icepick and take her job.

How do you feel about sex change operations?

I run a successful small business that will soon be graduating into a medium-sized business. I'd prefer that people didn't go all internet-detective on me, so I'll just describe what we do in general terms:

* We offer legal services that are highly desirable in a recession
* We are a very young company, only 18 months old
* We have a very large client base, and we are growing rapidly
* My employees come in two flavors: clerical support, and attorneys
* I expect to add another 50 employees by the end of the year because the demand is so high

And so on and so forth. Your post history is very Remedial-esque, and you seem to know a ton about him and what he does, granted this information is all public. Can you prove you're not Dan Dargon? You could be someone working in the same field but the evidence is very compelling.

Hey, it's pretty understandable that you feel the same way about Remedial on many issues, and I'm not ready to jump into any kind of conclusion. I was just hoping you provide more information to us so we can figure out the truth. You seemed to be defending him pretty vehemently, so it kind of set me off.

Wait, you're the guy that Mookie told to shut up because you're not a lawyer but you like to pretend to know what you're talking about all the time. You also were the biggest Obama fanboy in the entire universe for months and months and were hilariously disappointed when he turned out to be just another empty suit. You should probably stay out of lawyer threads because you are really not very good at legal analysis or thinking in general, just sayin'

I am definitely still considering a doctorate in Psychology (PsyD) but loving 5 years of school and even more tuition than I'd pay for law school (= even more student debt) scare the poo poo out of me.

What locations are you looking at? For good PhD/PsyD programs you receive complete tuition remission and even get a stipend (~12-30k a year). Depending on where you are and your situation you can graduate with 0 debt.

The only thing about PhDs is when I last researched it last year, PhD programs typically want people with MAs already.

This is untrue in most cases. In fact, a small (very small) number of programs actually view already having an MA/MS as a disadvantage. Going directly from a Bachelor's to a Doctorate is not uncommon by any means.

Has this become the thread for making fun of Dan Dargon, or is it the Law Thread? Here, let's combine them. Here's how you word a letter to the owner of a domain after people on the internet post your dick everywhere:

quote:

August 17, 2007

Dear Mr. Solo's Last Name

This is a demand letter for actions that must legally be taken by you,
Solo's Real Name. A copy of this letter will be emailed to your last
known email address, triaxius@gmail.com ; another copy will be sent to
your last known address in Florida.

First, you are requested to cease aiding, abetting, and tolerating all
illegal or malicious acts perpetrated against Daniel Dargon or his wife,
Melissa Dargon, on the website that you purport to own or manage,
https://www.goonfleet.com. On or about July 6th, 2007 you transferred ownership
of https://www.goonfleet.com away from Daniel Dargon from the domain provider
GoDaddy located at https://www.godaddy.com. You are also the server
administrator, for the website https://www.goonfleet.com who goes by the alias
�Solo Drakban� and so you are able to directly moderate the materials
posted by other users to the https://www.goonfleet.com forums. If users post
images, videos, or other materials designed to cause the intentional
infliction of emotional distress, to commit fraud or larceny upon
another person, or to commit any other tort or illegal act, you are
directly responsible for moderating those users as a matter of civil
accord.

Recently a user has purported to post nude or private pictures of Daniel
and Melissa Dargon for the sole purpose of humiliating and/or
threatening them. You have an obligation to remove those pictures and
the accompanying posts, or be named as a party in a civil suit against
the offenders and the owners or managers of the website. You further
have an obligation to disallow other torts or illegal acts from being
brought to https://www.goonfleet.com or its forums, or be named as a party in
future civil suits encompassing those acts. The posting of obscene or
harassing materials, threats made to the life or limb of Melissa or
Daniel Dargon, or threats made to the property or finances of Melissa or
Daniel Dargon are included in the set of potential torts.

Second, you are requested to proffer the identity of the
https://www.goonfleet.com user(s) who obtained the aforementioned nude or
private pictures of Daniel and Melissa Dargon. That identity shall
include (if known) the IP addresses, real names, real home or business
addresses, and any other identifying information that will assist Daniel
and Melissa Dargon and their future lawyers in ascertaining the identity
of the tortfeasors.

Third, you are requested to surrender https://www.goonfleet.com back to Daniel
Dargon as the proper owner of the domain. On or about July 6th, 2007 you
may have committed the crimes of theft by unauthorized taking, larceny,
and fraud by changing the registration information of https://www.goonfleet.com
with GoDaddy, the domain provider, without notifying the owner and
original registrar of that domain, Daniel Dargon. You subsequently
transferred ownership of https://www.goonfleet.com away from Daniel Dargon by
logging into his GoDaddy account and purporting to be owner of the
website. Consider this letter as notice of Daniel Dargon�s intent to sue
you for ownership of the domain in New Hampshire State Court if you do
not transfer ownership back to him immediately. The suit will be filed
in Concord District Court and it will be your duty to defend the suit in
Concord District Court or face a default judgment. Failure to act on the
default judgment will place you in contempt of court and subject you to
fines and/or potential jail time and/or extradition from your home state
of Florida.

If you do not respond in writing to this letter within 15 days of its
receipt, the suit will be filed in Concord District Court naming you as
a party and the other offenders as John/Jane Does until you proffer
their identities as stated above. You are on notice that as of the
suit�s filing, Daniel and Melissa Dargon will seek costs and
attorney�s fees as a part of the aforementioned suit. You all also on
notice that you will be subpoenaed as a witness in any civil suit
arising out of a failure to take action on the above demands. Note that
failure to hebench or capias warrant being issued by the Concord District Court or
Merrimack County Superior Court for your arrest. The cost of your
extradition from Florida to New Hampshire will likely be assigned to you
by the court that renders judgment in the matter.

Please meet the above demands so that we can put this matter behind us.
Time is of the essence.

Sincerely,

Daniel Dargon August 17th, 2007

This. I was a gunner douche that did well in the best law school in his market, was a law review editor, and then worked 1 year at the biggest firm in town before getting canned because my group lost the client responsible for 85% of my billable work. Now I'm an unemployable bum. And I'm probably not even the worst case of good grades + hard work = nothing in the thread.

Why do law school admissions just look at GPA and LSAT instead of looking at applicants holistically like colleges do? There doesn't seem to be any particularly good reason for this particular disparity between undergrad and law school.

It's completely holistic. Are you black? See, holistic.

Defleshed, I appreciated your input. You answered my question, and asked questions that I need to think about (and have been, a lot, for 2 years now). My frustration is more at the focus (and I've brought it on myself) on hashing that out here, and almost justifying my decision.

I know the tone of the thread - that law school is a terrible idea in general, and an even worse idea with the job market the way it is - but it's something I feel very passionately about. I hate my job. Hate it. Need a change, and a big change. It's scary to think about leaving a paycheck behind and going back to school (or I could do part-time, though I honestly don't think I could give the time to law school that I'd want to to make the most of it with my current work schedule). Through all of that worry, I still feel really passionately that it's the right decision for me.

There's a loving train coming towards you get off the tracks what are you doing?

I used to think the whole thing was a troll, but now I think Izzy is the quintessential future lawyer as shown in the jpg on top of post #4.

It's basically the version of beating the job market, getting the Big Law job and still losing.
