For most of us the realities of a "technical degree" will hit us most in practice, as we realize that we will have to transform ourselves into entrepreneurs to keep the cash flowing. Whatever our professors may espouse politically, the fact still remains that passing the Bar is what most students will concentrate on. Whatever ambitions we have of socio-political discourse, may only be applied in elected office. Then, we become "lawmaking machines" to promote our agendas or those of a party. Hardly very pluralistic, objective, or fresh! Since I am an almost 50 year old law student with tax accounting and estate planning experience, I know that if and when I pass the bar, it will only be a less than academic formality to continue my career. Regardless, the study of law is a good reminder of our Country's Constitutional foundations, currently second to none, which give us good standards to live by and advocate. All the best to everybody!
