I’m 24 years old and just started community college. It’s really fucking easy so far, I know community college is a joke and it’s really gonna pick up once I transfer to university. I want to get a bachelors in accounting. I currently live with my mom, so right now is the last opportunity I’m gonna get to knock school out without having to support myself. I’ve considered going to graduate school for law after the bachelors, but I think I’d rather just move out after finishing my bachelors and save myself the graduate school sized debt. Am I making a good choice? Any advice from people who have been through something similar? Anyway i can get it done quicker without sacrificing gpa? I also work full time at a grocery store which gives me really good insurance benefits.

Its good to get a bachelors degree no matter what anyone tells you. If you become a lawyer you'll make way more money than as an accountant unless you go CPA and start your own business. Do you want to do tax law? Thatd be a great combination for it. Dont forget that your opinion on what you want to do with your life will change before college is over so theres no point stressing over the exact details right now. Even though college is a waste of time a degree is necessary to live a bare minimum existence unless youre like some kind of 1 in a million hot shot or want to work a trade instead of a cushy desk/wfh job

not a Trump fan lol but
>not thinking Trump was kinda a G
Yeah not gonna lie I kind of fucked my life up until like a year ago but I'm not gonna get into that and I've landed pretty firmly on my feet. Things are going well now hence going to school and having a pretty easy time. It was a lot of addiction issues and fucked up shit happening in my family but I never got arrested or anything so I have no fear of that going forward. And laws just been a thought, the only part of it turning me off is three more years of school following finishing a bachelors.

That's where I'm at with college right now. Shit feels like a racket where I'm just taking classes I don't need to take to prove something but I absolutely have to do it and I wasted my time not doing it years earlier, but thank god I'm doing it now. Luckily I do have time to figure out the things down the road but I also am just really trying to figure out what I would like to do.

Get your gay blog off this chainlink forum. Take this shit to /b/ or something.

If you are going law i would make as many connections as possible now. I would also do more research on what that lifes like. If you have the cush job its fine, however a lot of law students graduate, cant find meaningful work, and end up at starbucks with a 200k debt

lmao you are so right i totally agree i've definitely seen that happen it happens all the time people getting useless degrees that won't result in a decent job

If you’re >100iq and can run a computer, you can probably find a job as a paralegal, or at minimum an assistant, for probably $18-20 an hour. Might as well try before you buy right?

I’m currently working with in-house counsel at a remote job making about $100k. Not law but I work with lawyers. Law is good IF you go to a top 30ish school. It gets iffy after that. Not necessarily bad but not a sure thing by any means.

I did the 62 hours of course work for my Associates degree in 1 year of community college, shit was easier than high school.

No. Waste of time. If you’re interested in law just max your lsat and gpa and go as soon as you get admitted to a school that’s good enough.
