So weary reading comments from over-indulged American persons, who were fortunate enough to grade out, in order to at least be given a shot at doing well in the law. Sometimes, life is alot different than what they tell you in academia. But you know what, think of the guy/gal in Detroit whose only option is the production line at one of the failing automakers. Or, try working on the production line of U.S. Steel or like, the latter having done well recently. Try their 10 hour shifts. Certainly, they have unions for benefits. But, actually try doing the work...Please, you all sound like a bunch of spoiled brats. There always are the coal mines, if not auto or steel.

The floors are a dark gray. I highly doubt they have been cleaned since the turn of the millenium. The toilet stall walls have graffitti from the Vietnam era, i.e. "Kill the Viet C____ ." Also there is toilet paper and paper towels scattered everywhere. Three stalls and three urinals are hardly adequate for 70 people. One "cleaning" a day is also inadequate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-72203927721388173402008-06-29T17:28:00.000-04:002008-06-29T17:28:00.000-04:00DK is no worse than any of the other "leads".
