I took and passed the NY State bar.  Studied for 2.5 months straight... hard as shit to pass, but well worth it in the end.  Ny and Cali are the hardest bars to pass in the country.

My advice:

--only go to law school if you wanna be a lawyer.  don't go for just to go.  it is hard work but managable.

I'll sell you mine for $65,000.  That's more than 50% off what you'd pay for it if you went today.  What do you say?

Will you accept my BS in elementary ed as part of payment?

I'm thinking of starting law school, I seem to be doing well on the LSAT practice exams and I have the grades to get into most average law schools, except I'm concerned about passing the bar exam after.  Is it difficult?  I would think that law school is structured such that if you're smart enough to make it through your degree then you should be able to tackle the bar exam.  Any thoughts?  And if you finish a law degree and can't pass your bar exam is your law degree practically useless?

Also, is being a lawyer an appropriate career for a bodybuilder?  Any pro bodybuilders who have a law background?

My wife has a PhD in economics, and she never lived with her mother.  On the other hand, Wiggs isn't as smart as she is.  But, he IS black, so he should be able to slide into some affirmative action program on his meager talents, especially with Obama in office.   ;)

nope...we just grad at the top 5% of our classes via hard work.  2 degrees (chem+bio) undergrad while working 2 jobs. mba/ph.d. pac 10 coming up next.

Where do I begin???

A law degree ( LLB ) will take you 3 years and 6 months after you are eligible to write the bar ( keep in mind John Kennedy Jr failed it twice. )The bar is a comprehensive test of your knowledge of the law and one needs to pass it in the state where they will practice.

Most grads with an LLB will get hiered on to a firm prior to writing the bar ( marks are the issue to getting a job ) and the firm's partners will give you a hand / insight as to what to expect. Now, what factors into getting hiered on with a firm are things like criminal convertions ( felony ) such as contributing to the delinquency of a minor and issues along these lines.

PH LLB

P.S. Having a law degree and not practicing is not useless, it makes you self important and a hell of a GetBig poster. My Mom's calling she needs to use the phone so I have to go. Hope this helps

Mr. Hupp LLB, what exactly do you mean by contributing to the delinquency of a minor?  What can this include? 

Also, in your opinion what is more effective between having being an LLB versus CSN MFT?

Over you head, young man. Your MBA from Gulf State is a B.S. An MBA from that school is not taken seriously as it is  not an accredited university. Third rate at best.

I suggest you put your MBA ( cough ) to use by sitting at home and building clone web sites for a good price . . . let's say $299.99

PH LLB

oh...boy!  you forgot to tell him that you are better than him.  that's the new line of getdumb's elite and successful.  dont bump your head against a wall, might forget everything you have learned.  then...his mba will be worth more than you jd.

Bar exam is not that hard.  I passed it the first time.  Law school is a great education, but not a guaranteed hhigh income salary. 

If you want to make wall street type money, go to wall street.  Go to law school for the right reasons and know what you are getting into first. 

Being a lawyer is not like tv.  Its tons and tons of paperwork and dealing with crazy people all day fighting over money.

Are you suggesting that with a masters in economics you will not have to live with your mother in order to repay your student loans?

These are good questions. I thank you for showing me respect by addressing me as Mr. Hupp. " I'm sure I deserve it."

Contributing to the delinquency of a minor is defined as any action by an adult that allows or encourages illegal behavior by a person under the age of 18, or that places children in situations that expose them to illegal behavior. Contributing to the delinquency of a minor can be as simple as keeping a child home from school and thus, making the child a truant. It also can manifest itself in more serious behavior. For example, an adult who commits a crime in the presence of a child can be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, as can an adult who serves alcoholic beverages to anyone under the legal drinking age. Still more egregious is sexual exploitation, which could include having sexual relations with minors or engaging in the production or trafficking of Child Pornography

So you can see it could be as simple as a misdemeanor or as significant as a felony ( trust me I know this, I'm a lawyer.)

With respect to CSN and MFT I am unfamiliar with these acronyms so I goggled them and here is what I got ( see attachment. ) Although nothing is clear by the search the best I can figure is CSN = Certified Stupid N _ _ _ _ R and MFT = Mentally fucked Tool.

Hope this helps.

While I agree my MBA is nowhere near as valuable as one from a top business school, Florida Gulf Coast University is AACSB International accredited.

This seems important to you on a message board.

So…you have a LL.B. which you got right after high school.  That’s the way it can go esp in London which would give it a lower value vs a jd (JD – Juries Doctorate ).  Therefore…in the US you probably can’t compete with a jd (JD – Juries Doctorate) for positions…equally.

In other words 240 can find a job quicker with his 3rd-tier mba (MBA) vs your llb (sorry…LL.B.) in the states. 

I know you know more and are better than me…son.    That’s a common theme on getbig these days.

Is Florida Gulf Coast University really a 3rd tier school?  I'm being serious here.  It's a state school, one of 11 I think.  It's AACSB accreditted, which I believe only 25% of business schools attain.  Is there some ranking so I can see where it lands? I know it's not top 100 by any means, but 3rd tier?  The King Kamali of MBAs?  Ouch!

The pt is my MBA/Ph.D. will be Big12/Pac10...but you've been about to write your own ticket with your education.  That being said...given the number of clients you have so far...you could probably charge more than $300.  I'm sure that works within your plans.

Too many a$$es on this site trying call people out these days.  Wasnt like this in the old days.

The 300 number only works for getbiggers and their friends :)  Local companies get a link to my mirrored site, where they pay 600 and get a visit from me for materials, which requires a little legwork.

Yes, it is.  The truth is, as a state, Florida is not serious about funding education and it shows; this is true in K-12 public schools as well.   :'(

Think of it this way: much of the wealth in FL is held by people who moved to the state at or near retirement.  Many people's parents and grandparents live in Florida.  This is a population of people whose children, for the most part, are already grown.  Their children were likely educated up North or otherwise out of state.  Accordingly, this mature population (who vote and have a lot of political power) is less inclined to see the value in paying higher taxes to fund things like education.

The people in FL with children who need a good public education are effectively politically impotent.  They tend to be poor, or immigrants from Latin America, the Caribbean, etc.  For the most part, the parents of these children are not politically active so they essentially "take what they get" when it comes to public schools.  

With few exceptions, the universities in FL are in the lower bottom half with regard to quality, academic rigor, reputation, pay, etc.  I am not saying any of this to be mean spirited; it is simply a fact.  One of my best friends is on the faculty at FGCU; we both went to grad school near Boston and eventually came to FL for personal reasons.  For a time, I worked at two universities in FL.  

Having experienced higher education in other parts of the country, I would not allow any young person in my family to attend a FL university.  I love FL and still have lots of family there; but all the K-12 kids in my family attend private schools.  At one school, the tuition for Pre-Kindergarten is $16,840. For grades 1-5 it is higher; for grades 6-8 it is even higher; and for grades 9-12 tuition is $20,600.  I have personally inspected each of the schools my nieces/nephews attend to ensure the quality.  We have all agreed that when the time comes, none of the family children will go to a Florida university.

Yes, you went to the "King Kamali of business schools".


Take it from someone who went to "Ronnie Coleman U".   On the other hand, it's just a piece of paper, highly useful for opening doors when you're just starting out, but of marginal value beyond that, especially if you're not in the "corporate world".  At this point I use mine mainly to impress people on message boards.  ;D
where did you go to school?

It is very rare to have underfunded, poorly performing K-12 schools and first class public universities in the same state.  Remember, in both cases, the money comes from the public.  If you knew the public K-12 school systems were bad then by extension you should have known the public colleges were also bad.

I guess that makes sense.  I never really thought about it that way.  I knew that I wanted to stay in FL for family, convenience, etc, and I knew that I'd be working here too.  Can't stand the snow...

If you had any fucken idea as to what you were talking about I'd go into this in detail. One needs an undergrad degree and exceptional scores on the L.S.A T's to even get into a good Law school.
