GOT INTO YALE LAW SCHOOL

What is your issue? Every single post mentioning a whiff of law and you come frolicking in with your butt hear ass rhetoric. GTFOHWTS.

OP made a troll post, so I responded with a somewhat trollish demeanor.  If you do not think he was trolling, go to "Top Law School Forums" and write "Received a Goldman Sachs M&A Group Offer" to see what they will say in turn.

To your claim of "every single post," please point out where I have made any factual claims that were inaccurate.  Please point out where I made a thrust of opinion or assertion that is not the consensus of transactional attorneys off-the-record.  If anything, I have been far too conciliatory to the WSO posters inquiring about their prospects in law in that my advice has been to only go if one wants to enter litigation (assuming they have a definite and clear-eyed view of what a litigator's career entails, it is not pretty).  Most of my former classmates and co-workers would say do not become a litigator either.  The lack of desirable exit ops, dull nature of the work, and slow pace to reach any comparable level of managerial responsibility conspire to make law a poor career decision.  

To your question "What is your issue?"  I do not suffer from the all-too-common attorney problems in that I am not divorced, I do not have children I hardly know, I am not an alcoholic, I am not in visibly bad physical health, and I do not have a luxury SUV lease I can hardly afford.  If you think dentists take the cake in any of these metrics, lawyers have news for you.

Here is a quick read up on entering law today.  Before you hastily dissuade a prospective student from listening to an attorney with warnings about attending a JD program, please perform your due diligence:
