Date: June 3rd, 2012 6:08 AM Author: disrespectful bateful associate I've been posting here for some time and have noticed some trends. The major points:
1.) Extreme risk-aversion. On XOXO, lower T-14 at full ride >>>>>>>> HLS at sticker. Who cares if you have a massively greater chance to end up in 40k shitlaw or mediocre biglaw, which will significantly affect your lifetime earning potential? You'll still have no debt, right?
2.) Extreme glorification of lifestyle over money. On XOXO, 100k working 9-4 is the "credited path." :/ This is inexcusable.
3.) Complete and utter pessimism in general. While I do excuse some of it on the basis that many people here may be high-caliber but got fucked over by ITE, there is definitely a limit. It really does seem that the majority of people here are low-caliber TTTers.
There are still some high-caliber people on here, no doubt. And I'm sure XOXO wasn't always like this. Maybe the glory days will one day return? |

futurism and "progress" are for lower class people. |

2. Lifestyle over money. Actually lifestyle (leisure) over any kind of productivity.
3. Not just pessimism, also cynicism, racism, sexism. |
