  What's the verdict on attending a third-tier law school?

  Oh and two more things. One, if you can get into a tier one or two, go there. Two, the jobs future for grads is changing. Lots of firms are closing their doors and laying off associates but there is a lot contract work out there too. I think in three or four years most new grads will start out being independent contractors.

  What's the verdict on attending a third-tier law school?

  I graduate from law school a year ago, passed the bar, and just found a job this week. There is a great deal to be said about going law school today and how the legal field is changing for us new grads. First of all, if you go to a tier three school you do need to lower your salary expectation. Of course there are the exceptions, the students who end up with the big firm big money jobs, but the rule tends to hold true that a lower tier equals a lower salary…at first. Over the years the pay scale may even out more. Also, lower ranked schools do tend to be less connected to their alumni than say NYU, who has a 100% employment rate. This means that you will likely be doing a lot of the job hunting on your own. However, the benefits to a lower ranked school exist. I think schools that are not first tier tend to be more innovative since they are trying to increase their ranking. The are constantly trying to do more and do it better. It can be an exciting environment to learn in. Also,he students are different than at a tier 1 or even tier 2 school. The lower tiers, from my experience, have more students who are the first lawyers in their families. There is less of a legacy of entitlement and more students just trying to make something more of their lives for their communities and families. As far as cost goes, that is something you have to figure out on your own. I didn’t know anything when I went to law school. I had no concept of student debt. Today I have a shitload of debt but I also love what I do. Was it worth it? I think so. Best of luck! And remember, supplements are just that, they do not replace doing your homework!

  What's the best vegan recipe you know of?

  As someone mentioned earlier, the “How It All Vegan” series is great and they have the best recipe for chocolate peanut butter cups! My favorite go-to vegan recipes are: coconut curry and tofu scramble. For the curry you just stir-fry up whatever veggies sounds good and at the end dump in a can of coconut milk and either curry powder or thai kitchen curry paste. Obviously it can get a lot more complicated (and authentic) than this but sometimes I just like to keep it quick and easy! For added decadence you can fry tofu on the stove in a separate pan and then add it in – yum! Tofu scramble is one of my favorite breakfasts. I put in big chunks of broccoli and onion with a little garlic. Stir-fry that up and then grab the tofu and squish and squeeze it between your hands as it falls into the pan. I like to add curry powder but you can season it anyway you like! Then heat up a couple corn tortillas, throw on some salsa and avocado and that is breakfast!
