I never heard of such a thing when I was in college/law school but then again I am not a youngster. Statistically, young adults are the lowest risk for any health problems and for the overwhelming majority of them, it is cheaper to just pay out of pocket for whatever health care they may need, as opposed to having health insurance. <br /><br />I went "bare" (no insurance) for a few years during/after college and during that time the only health care I needed was an office visit pursuant to a nasty case of food poisoning (it was quite memorable). total cost = circa $150. <br /><br />Do the law schools get a kickback from the health insurance companies? Is it a self-administered plan? (e.g. just another revenue-generating fee the university tacks on?) Is it another facet of the law school scam?

I never heard of such a thing when I was in college/law school. Young adults are the lowest risk re: health problems and if they do need health care it is overwhelmingly likey that it's cheaper for them to pay out of pocket (in the unlikely event they need to do so) rather than buy insurance. I went "bare" (e.g. no insurance) for a few years during/after college and during that time the only time health care I needed was one visit pursuant to a nasty case of food poisoning (a memorable experience). Total cost = circa $150.<br /><br />Are the law schools getting kickbacks from this mandatory insurance? Do the premiums go into the university's coffers? Is this another facet of the scam?

...And the cost of being a person paid six figures.<br /><br />If you work in a big firm, you'll feel pressured to live closer to the big firm than in the affordable suburbs. In many places, you'll be expected to have a decent car. And if you're working in firms of a certain "culture," it's mandatory to have enough suits so that no one notices you wear the same one over and over again. And if you want to make partner, I suggest avoiding the JC Penney sewn-by-drunk-Vietnamese women suits. You need Italian or English quality brands, which are $750/pop minimum, and you'll be constantly running these things to the dry cleaner to erase the smell of working 75-hour weeks while wearing a goddamned suit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-70172199980198767232013-02-03T08:42:10.197-08:002013-02-03T08:42:10.197-08:00Not a fair comment.
