Tell all your readers to take a deep breath, because this marketplace is so badly distorted in price and credit risk that it's rapidly imploding. And at that point, it's no longer the individual's problem.<br /><br />Federal student debt is not so much personal debt as it is sovereign debt, and the sovereign's problem. 1T outstanding is a drop in the bucket of the issues with our sovereign and its debt. If you think the student loan bubble cannot go on very much longer, I'd bet that it's endpoint is the endpoint at which the USA has to restructure ALL its sovereign debt. Tick, tick, tick...a full 20ish percent of the market is in outright default...the vast, vast majority of the rest of the market is in a debt-restructure without real write-off at 10% of discretionary income. Enron didn't last forever with its accounting tricks either, ya heard?! This is done. Toast. Il fait accompli. Find another job - because all these schools are going down. And students, just chill, you're cramdown is coming, because there's no other way it can really end.

...Well, my friend was inclined to tell tall tales.<br /><br />But he did add a couple of details that make me think his stories were true.<br /><br />He said the beggars he saw were children made to be "professional beggars" with deliberately mangled limbs, and as he was riding in a cab one stuck a twisted arm in his open window.<br /><br />Re: the monkey story he said that the poor monkey put his hands under his collar and tried to pry it off just before the "event." I never saw Temple of Doom so don't know if that detail was in the movie.<br /><br />He also told a story about a Scottish guy he worked with aboard the cruise ship who was a street fighter and who was an adroit head butter, which the Scottish guy said Americans don't generally do when street fighting.<br /><br />And that was the extent of my friend's cultural exchanges whilst traveling the world.

It was exactly what your mother experienced - just a chance to live abroad and have fun and of no real academic value. At ND 2/3 of our classes were required so most of these folks took the same courses we were taking and with American professors who rotated through the program so that they, too, could have fun in England. Also knew some people who partied their brains out the whole time. I always suspected that the University was turning a serious profit on it because they let people from other schools use the program - poaching a year of tuiton from those other schools. And as an added bonus, every year they would admit a bunch of clowns from fourth-tier schools who had been in London for that year to do their third year back at ND, thereby filling any vacant seats in each third year class. These folks were known as "nine month wonders" - a Notre Dame law degree after spending less than nine months on campus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-1678558998314623592013-01-27T13:06:05.217-08:002013-01-27T13:06:05.217-08:00Federal judges and law profs are not too far from ...Federal judges and law profs are not too far from each other.<br /><br />Good Schools, good grades, great careers. For them law school was a winning bet. They could care less about the losers, be it boomer loser or gen y loser. To them a loser is a loser, and losers deserve what's coming their way because they did not work hard, went to shit school, got shit grades, got shit job or can't even get a job (fucking freeriders, country invested in them and they can't even feed themselves). <br /><br />When kids go to law school, they are all winners (to a degree); when kids finish law school, at best, half of them are winners. When they go into practice, another half fails out (one way or another). <br /><br />So in about 10 years you were turned from happy college grad into a sorry loser and it's all your fault. <br /><br />Although I don't agree that is all losers fault that they are losers (being a loser myself), at the end of the day it does not matter why you are loser; your fault or not, you are left eating shit, and it does not matter whose fault it is.

Tax write offs for vacations basically. Only big law partners probably go. But these faux learning vacations are an extension of that. Perpetuates the myth about what a great life you will have practing law. Plus, Roberts used to probably even take those faux learning vacations before he took the low paying Supreme Court gig. Doubt if he gives it a second thought (well he probably does NOW). <br /><br />Combine this with the Sotomeyer quote and you have a legal elite completely out of touch with the profession.
