Is it as difficult as it is for other types of law?

​

I believe that the concept of the "slut" or the Madonna-whore belief is stupid.

I don't judge people who sleep with others, casually, seriously, it's none of my business, and if it was fun? Good for them, they ought be responsible, but that's it.

I respect people. I don't care if they are nuns, or sex workers. People are people that deserve respect. Equal to that of others, some respect can be earned by profession, for one's in public service, the military, teaching, and, I include sex worker in the list of people that deserve a little extra respect.

So, I'm not asking in a literal sense.

Though I believe these things, other do not. A large amount of them, and I do care about public perception of me

I'm fifteen. When I was eleven, a boy from my class asked me to be his girlfriend, being stupid and a kid, I said yes to spare his feelings, played along for a couple conversations, etc and tried my hardest to ignore him afterwards so he'd forget about me.

I know now that that was awful (because I hurt him), but I was a stupid kid.

Eventually, we started talking again, because he never thought we ended things, first as friends, then, as boyfriend and girlfriend.

We lasted almost a year.

And we were flirting for much longer

I kissed him on the cheek.

He kissed on the cheek. Multiple times

We held hands, alot. I once almost fell asleep on his shoulder. He put his hand over my shoulders,.

And spoke about things like marriage, and kids, because we were teenagers and it was fun to imagine, and we were also serious about each other.

Pretty much, nothing else.

We broke up for other reasons, by the way. And I was somewhat playing a role throughout some of this, to spare his feelings, because I was young and stupid and I know now that's wrong, and it was real at some point, then feelings were lost.

He once said I was lustful for spending time with a fourth grader, having a platonic male best friend, etc

Guy who worships the ground I walk on, for ya. Dating is a cesspool.

Throughout this, our teachers kept telling our parents that we had been passing notes, and another said we were doing it for attention. Publically. He got pulled out of class to be lectured by a couple teachers. Some teachers looked at me while talking about being careful, and not getting a bad "character", or repeatedly asking my confirmation about staying away from dating, publically of course.

I'm also getting sick of the sexual jokes my classmates make. They're lewd, descriptive and make me uncomfortable. They would have been some, regardless, but it's definetly made more often because I am seen as "fair game". More people are comfortable with it. Which is a moral failing on their end, and also plain stupidity, but is still an opinion of me, and opinions do matter. Public perception does matter, though it shouldn't. But humans are social.

Essentially,

I feel as though I have lost something, the title of having been never been in a relationship, even though I didn't want to be in?

Did I loose something, at all? In any sense of the word in the eyes of anyone else, whether worthy of having their opinion matters or not, did I loose anything?

Is what I have done ever going to bite me back in the future, in any setting? Whether that be marrying the Sultan Shahrayar from 1001 nights, or being magically transported to Riyadh?

Can I now be described as something other than what I was before?

Have I done something "too grown up"? Have I lost a bit of my childhood?

Will any future partner care, if they do, it's horrendous, but would they?

Can I possible, in any way, shape or form, be described as "slut", or basically any other awful word, by the King of America, or the wife of the pope, I don't mind, or any reasonable or not reasonable person?

I want you to be blunt. Cruel, if you need to. Truth is truth and I need to hear it.

I'm eighteen, and trying to plan out my career trajectory, long story short, is that I want to become a patent lawyer. Specifically, working in patent prosecution, ergo, I need a degree in STEM.

Right now, Electrical engineering is the most desired background for this, followed by CSE, and biotech/pharma however you need a PhD for that. Help me select what qualifications I should seek out

1.) Is picking CSE going to close so many doors that it becomes unreasonable? Can I do ECE related stuff with a CSE? if not, is there a reasonably quick master's I can do? Not for USPTO, but for job market and stuff

2.) Is ECE really so difficult? To get into law school, I need to keep up a high CGPA, atleast in my bachelor's, so, I don't want to take any risks here.

3.) This is an over-asked question, but is CSE worth taking the risk in (market over-saturation, and AI reducing the amount of CSE graduates needed, etc) a viable risk? I want to have a backup if law school doesn't work out.

Moreover, I'm worried that there will be a flock of CSE graduates flocking to patent law, causing an over-saturation here, as well. I was thinking to take ECE to stay on the safe side and how I'm discouraged

Neither the ECE or CSE programme will be ABET certified- they'll be done in india, will that be a problem?

I'm fifteen, and I'm considering patent law as a career option, but I've heard that outside of CSE and EE, the patent law job market can be difficult, and I was thinking about, though I wasn't set on it, getting a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, so

- how bad is the job market for ChemE jobs for patent law?

- is it basically hopeless without a CSE or EE?

- is the EE patent law job market going to continue to be great, or will it plateau in a few years?

- what's your favourite part about the job? What's your least favourite?

- is it like big law or high-level finance in that it's hard to become one?

I'm also considering CSE and maybe a master's in cybersecurity, or enviromental engineering.

Thank you!

I'm very sorry, I couldn't find the megathread for student questions!

I'm fifteen, and I've recently begun looking at professions I might like, and I think I would like to get a JD, but now, that I've done more research, it doesn't seem so attractive and option. I have a couple questions about the nature of law a profession

1.) is it true that the options after a JD are just a low-paying public interest job, a high-paying but stressful big law job, or an equally stressful but lower paying mid law job? I know the salary is bimodal, but, no option seems very good

2.) is it risky to go to a law school and bet that you are going to do well enough to not be barred from Biglaw, or reasonable midlaw

3.) if you don't find something during OCI, are you pretty much screwed? How common is it to not find anything during OCI?

4.) What happens if I don't get into a T14 or otherwise well-regarded law school?

5.) is breaking into genuinely good and reasonable midlaw jobs impossible without a few years in biglaw

6.) how bad are biglaw hours? I know this is something frequently talked about, but can you expect most of your free time, or most of your weekends to be taken over? So, you're doing doc review or responding to emails, constantly? Is it just unpredictable, or is it bad AND unpredictable

7.) how unpredictable is it? And is it "you have to do this at 2:30 am, and I need it by 4 am" every couple of weeks, I don't think I'd mind it being unpredictable, but I think I'd like to be still be free most times, but I'm alright with not knowing if I'm going to be free, if more than often than not, I am.

8.) is the work environment toxic, I think I can stand being yelled at a little bit, (I know that yelling is happening less and less, I'm glad of that), does the work environment have natural favouritism, or partners- or otherwise people in positions of authority within the firm, being awful or humiliating you with no reason?

9.) is there "politics", by that I mean, is it reasonable to assume the people you work with are going to do things to put you down, or give themselves and edge-up, are people out to get each other?

10.) how difficult is it to get into law school? I know it's not a cakewalk, but is it really 45%, if so, it's a risky choice, right? I'm planing to major in something difficult, so, I expect my GPA, will be fairly low, especially since I'm thinking to do it abroad

11.) if I don't get into biglaw, does that mean I cannot get any reasonable midlaw jobs?

12.) this is a slightly insulting question- have you ever done something that you'd feel is unethical? Or do you do unethical things as part of your job, I'm very sorry about the way this might offend, I don't think you're bad people,

13.) would me getting my bachelor's degree in another country make for a set-back?

I'm sorry about the sheer amount of questions! EDIT: to add more information to the questions

I'm fifteen, and I'm thinking to become a lawyer, but I want to get a bachelor's degree in a field I can get a job and work in for a little while.

I'm considering Chemical Engineering or Computer science engineer with an integrated Masters in Cybersecurity.

I'm also planning to get these degrees in India, so I can try to minimize my loans.

These are difficult undergraduate degrees to keep up a high GPA in.

1.) should I try to change this plan?

2.) Would having a degree from a foreign country make it hard to go back for law school, even if I get WES certification

3.) if I don't make it in to a T14 school and enter BigLaw, is there anyway to make enough, not be second choice for promotions, etc?

4.) How much does applying to law schools really cost? I intend to become a peace corps volunteer for two years after I get my engineering degree, and, while I'm in the service, I likely won't be making much? (Still thinking about this, though)

5.) in law school, are professors as unkind as they are so often said to be?

6.) what are the genuine risks and trade offs of not getting in to a T14, especially if financial security is an important goal

I'm planning to use these next three years to determine what kinds of law I want to practice, but the ones I'm looking in to, are

- IP/ copyright

- Patent

-Immigration

- contract

- Personal Injury

- tax attorney

As far as location goes, I was thinking to practice in New York or New Jersey, However, travel is very important to me, so, I'll be using the UBE to practice in other states aswell, not like moving all the time, just every few years, is that also an option?

Thank you!

I'm fucking pissed, I love being a woman, and I'm glad of it but I'm sick of hearing

- you can't being an archaeologist! You're a woman!

- you can't become an agricultural geneticist! You're a woman

- you can't become a marine biologist! You're a woman!.

- you must plan your life so you can always start teaching after you are married, so you can still have a job, and have a family

- you can't date, because what will people say, you'll be considered as having a bad character and no one will want to marry you.

- you have to get married at some point.

- I'm sorry, but you have to get an arranged marriage because dating and falling in love is too risky! They might drug you and rape you, they must fuck you and dispose of you, if you marry someone else, they will mock you for it and insult you for it

- you should memorize prayers because your future in-laws would want it

-; you can't become a patent lawyer, you won't have time to raise your kids!

I won't have the option of drinking, or wearing what I want because I'm supposed to be the torch-bearer of culture.

Why does it feel like my goals are a privilege and not a right?

I'm sorry for using the wrong flair.

I'm an indian-american, and I spent my early learns bouncing around, I've spent six years in America total (ages 1-3, 5-8) , three years in Canada, and the rest in india, I'm currently 15.

I feel very American, very indian-american, American cultural symbols are important to me, I care and feel a sense of responsibility about American politics, the economy, and the environment.

I feel more at home in indian-diaspora spaces than I do in mainstream indian spaces, though, I'm starting to wonder if there is an obvious divide.

Ive spent more years in india than I have in America, I am an indian by heritage.

I recently found a great interest in diplomacy, and international relations and in being a foreign service officer (an FSO) which would require TS security clearance, and it's likely i wouldn't get it, because all my family is foreign and all my time abroad.

People here critize me for not fawning or having some strong feelings about Indian politics, because "I should"- I do care, I mean, I live here, but I'm generally indifferent.

People around me, including family, tell me that, I am Indian, that I'm only american by citizenship so I should "act like it" i.e telling me to gain or loose certain qualities.

I'm planning to stay in india until after I get a college degree in Cybersecurity or something, to avoid the massive student loans I'd have to take out, so that'll just increase the number,

Im wondering if I've spent too much time away to still be considered an American?

I'm in grade 10 and I'm looking at stream selection, I'm thinking of either PCB or PCM and I think I am leaning PCB. I want to get a degree in chemical engineering, and then a master's in either enviromental engineering or cosmetic chemistry.

I will probably be writing the EAPCET exam, and other ones aswell like VITEE, SRMJEE etc, etc

I'm better at biology than I am at math, I'm better at most things than I am at math.

I was planning to do PCB (State board) + NIOS math.

Is this still valid/accepted? Or should I just do a PCM. I'm worried I'll be sad/miss out on learning biology

Also, I love the "ayo remember to use user flairs" in this sub, it's so awesome

Sorry for using "urgent query" i wasn't sure which user flair was applicable and this was the closest

Wrong sub, I know but I have bad karma.

I'm an OCI card holder living in india.

Due to the court case Anushka vrs state of india, im allowed to write NEET, but I might not get a state domicle or "any benefit given to an Indian", so it'll all be dependant on my AIR.

My relatives suggest I write NEET and pursue an MBBS and then write the USMLE, then do my residency in America, and become a doctor.

I'm scared to slave years of my life, of my youth away, when the entrance is low. I mean, it's just as selective as the ivies.

I like the pay and I like the security of the medical field.

I would like to become an MSL, or a family medicine doctor and then join doctors without borders or go into consulting

I could also, do BSVSC. and become a vet, become licensed in America, and stuff. I might like being a travel vet.

I was also thinking about optometry, but I'd have to complete my OD in America, and my bachelor's already. Preferably, america, but i suppose I could TRY to get in with a foreign bachelor's.

I should probably mention I'm an American

I'm 15, female, and of south-asian heritage. I am 5'3 and 93lbs. I've calculated my BMI and visit the doctor enough. I'm slightly underweight but it's nothing worrying, (I'm not under the 5th percentile according to the CDC). And people around me (classmates) frequently weigh less than I do, so, this is not by choice.

Teenagers burn more calories, so I imagine this (my current diet) will break even to average when I become an adult.

I would like to pursue a diet, increasing movement is more difficult with my schedule, but I would like to diversify the foods I eat, and prioritize healthy eating, possible weight loss, and generally trying to reduce the amount of deficiencies I have (I'm vegetarian, so I have plenty).

The thought of loosing or attempting to gain weight has crossed my mind, and I would like your opinions on what I can choose to do.
