Queen Sara, why don't you "get over" this:
The fact is, Queen Sara, that we law school grads have had enough of getting ripped off by the law school scam. Haven't you heard? The lawsuits have begun. We are storming the Bastille of the law school cartel. It's a revolution, dearie!
Go easy on her, friend. Her advice on giving is spot on, and she is leading by example. She has to work six whole hours a week for an entire semester for a salary that is merely into the low six figure range. Plus benefits. Would you be willing to work such dreadful hours for such a low amount of remuneration?
ReplyDeleteAlso, have you any idea how much salary she is giving up in the private sector to impart her vast knowledge of such important, cutting edge legal issues of the day like the Rule Against Perpetuities to the next generation of debt slaves?
Hopefully you picked up on the sarcasm.
I'm still waiting for my first "Shelley's Case" opportunity to arise. The arrogance of someone paid six figures to shovel out this drivel year in and year out is unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteWould the student loan companies and the federal government "get over it" if unemployed law grads default on their student loans? Would the law schools "get over it" if they were made to return all of the tuition dollars they collected from unemployed law students?
ReplyDeleteThis woman comes off sounding like a rapist who tells his victim to "get over it".
Cake isn't really a food for the poor anymore. Maybe you should change the message to "Let them drink Popov"
ReplyDeleteSara K. Stadler never had to worry about finding a legal job.

Her father was U.S. Solicitor General James Lee Rankin. He later "served" as general counsel on the Warren Commission.
James also married well.

“[Rankin] was married on September 4, 1931 to Gertrude Carpenter, the daughter of a prominent Lincoln family that owned a large paper company. The couple had sent 550 wedding invitations, and among the performers at the ceremony was noted Nebraska music educator Wilbur Chenoweth, who five years later composed the music for "Hail Varsity," which became the UNL fight song at sports events.”
This makes her an even bigger ass.
And her ass is huge now.
ReplyDeleteI doubt that she appreciates how unseemly and insulting for a child of privilege like herself to be ranting, "Get over it!" at a commencement exercise. Why do law schools get these academics and similar types to speak at graduations? Why not some real lawyers who are actually working for a living?
ReplyDeleteThese "people" should be behind bars.
ReplyDeleteI almost hope someone forecloses on their asses...then I can tell her "get over it."
P.S. tuition will go up 10% this year.

I just don't get how she can say that the terrible market gives people a license to be happy. It's not just prestigious openings that are hard to come by, it's ALL openings. And while I agree one should do what makes one happy, I'm assuming virtually all of those people went to law school in order to PRACTICE LAW, not sell yarn. What she said makes NO sense.
ReplyDeleteI went to the link which starts at 36 mins in, but couldn't see where she said 'get over it'. She's talking about how complex the law is. Where is the 'get over it' comment?
