A well informed commenter just noted that THIRD TIER REALITY, a blog purportedly created to “inform potential law school students and applicants of the ugly realities of attending law school,” just B-slapped the William S. Boyd School of Law. The article begins with a picture of what looks like horse poop, and then.. well you should read for yourselves.
Are you Boyd students and alumni going to just let them get away with that? What about You, Mr./Mrs. State Assemblyman 7?
the truth hurts
The dean makes a paltry $330K. Surely he could be making millions as a biglaw partner. Right?
The odds are probably better that you could get UNLV Law grads to unite in admitting the school cost way too much for what they received.
Tickles! Tickles!
Wow, the author of that blog bitter much?
The writer makes some valid points, particularly with regard to costs and compensation to faculty, but the article was written in such a demeaning manner as to law schools generally that it makes the writers arguments seem petty and immature.
Reading the article made me think of a little kid pouting because the other kids won't let him into the treehouse.
I think the guy is justifiably angry. I can't argue that the dean and faculty aren't grossly overpaid. I can't argue that borrowing money to go to law school isn't a really stupid thing to do. The law school and student loan industries are a huge rip off. This guy just happens to be pointing that out. Can you blame this guy for wanting to expose a clip joing like Boyd?
The author obviously didn't do his research before he made his personal mistake and decided to go to law school. Then to make matters worse (for him and other similarly situated people) his infant like sense of entitlement shows that his references to Salma Hayek should be for his physical nourishment rather than sexual gratification. Some folks do research on decisions that cost years of their lives and tens of thousands of dollars. Others end up as bitter douche bags that will probably make lots of money in spite of themselves once they pull their heads out of their asses instead of looking for the six figure handout their admissions counselor sold them.
The writer is very angry and has been for a long time. I'm sure that if he put as much effort into practicing law (and finding clients)as he did in putting his blog together he'd be doing much better than $50K a year. Very sad.
UNLV is overpriced. 5 years ago it was less than 10K a year. That's what a second tier school should cost. Exit options out of UNLV aren't terrible if you don't have 200K of student debt. there aren't enough local employers that pay enough to justify how expensive UNLV is now.
I can see someone writing valid criticisms but this guy seems to have no objectivity. His churlish manner makes me doubt what he's written. Very immature.
