A more realistic person when taking into consideration the current job market in general would be wise when seeking higher education to have the goal of making themselves as marketable as possible in numerous fields and be willing when young and inexperienced to take lower paying jobs.My mother majored in the Arts but she only held a job as an art teacher for 2 years the rest of her 35 year teaching career she was an English teacher.

Again, I was not talking about all my professors, just that fact that academia is dominated by left wingers and many use their positions to spread that failed ideology.Not all, but many and yes I have had some professors who are commies, both in law school and undergrad.

Do you have documented proof of their involvement with Communist parties? It would shatter our society as a whole.

God forbid.

I had a professor on the first day of class said he was "liberal". He's a great guy and he wasn't foaming at the mouth type. Ironically, he didn't push his ideology.

Seems that you will write anything in an attempt to discount me, must be personal for you, grow up scooter.Taking my comments about academia in general being left leaning(which is an undeniable fact) and trying to equate them with me saying all my professors, fellow students etc are brainless, well it is just a bit much.

indocrination?
But bubbles you have been very very specific both about the staff at your school and all the other students at your school.

You must be a complete *****(terms and conditions applied) if you are trying to pass off your specific claims as somehow vauge generalisations.
Don't you remember saying that all your fellow students were brainless drones who were unable to string a sentence together and were completely unable to give an intelligible reply on topics
Yet now amazingly they are at a school which only takes the cream of the crop

BTW you used the word "fact" again where it doesn't apply

I think I see the problem here, you make up so much pure bullexcrement that you cannot remember the bull you have written.
You are just like that other wingnut youngster a while ago from the chalkboard of conspiracy who made a pile of silly claims to big himself up, like how he was working three jobs. Remind us again what your occupation "was" as someone in "the business" before you entered school and how that claim unravelled for ya

Heh. I can remember a couple of instructors who let on about their political leanings, but neither of them ever pushed it on us. Most people I know don't really talk much about where they stand anyway, and even if they did I probably wouldn't notice or care. To each his own, and God help us all this election year -- methinks the outlook is pretty grim right now.

Not all actively push their agenda, but you can see the slant in their teaching.Then again, there are some(but few) who try to stay neutral.

Fair enough but it sure seemed like you where speaking about your current professors not your past ones the language in that Obama impeaching thread seemed to be applying your past and current experience.I am not so sure that you can say that a person is a true communist unless they actually say so from their mouth that they are.In my experience I have only met some Italians in Italy that where actually members of the Italian Communist party and that party is much more local and regional.Perhaps you have had professors that had a very liberal leaning which is all together quite different from a full blown communist.But that seems to be your world view and I would argue that both sides left and right spend a lot of time in various manners to promote their views to the masses so to speak so with that in mind it is not a bad idea to take anything you hear or see with a grain of salt keeping in mind that someone is putting their point of view on it everyone has an agenda.The notion any person a certain degree or for to the left is a pinko-commie is an overstatement I would consider it equally unfair to say that a certain degree right leaning person is a Fascist and some left learners do make this claim both sides do this to scare tactic which is poor behavior and serves only to divide people.

I was not trying to show you ill will about getting a good job though but you did come across as a little smug with your sympathy comment some of those Brooklyn Law school grads may well have also worked with law firms and made connections.Interning is not a guarantee of employment in the future necessarily.

I know one of my young cousins she started working at a law firm as a part time job in high school and got interested in paralegal work she interned and worked part time for a few different firms and it still took her almost 2 years to find employment as a paralegal.Granted a paralegal is not a lawyer but I think that the 1-2 year job search is easily the standard unless you are working in a low skills required job.

Well smug or not, I have no sympathy because it sounds like people blaming an institution for their employment woes in lieu of taking personal responsibility.Like I said, I do not expect a top notch job upon graduation despite having worked at or where I obtained my JD and employment statistics played a negligible role in my selection.

Well I had one Professor in undergrad admit he is a communist, most will not but they sound like commies.I despise left wing "thinking", it is a cancer on our society as is the far right religious nuts.People have the right to their beliefs, even though they are incorrect and have been proven so time and time again, but I have the right to point out how wrong they are and to mock, ridicule etc if I so choose.

Yeah that's just what the world needs, a smart mouth lawyer who makes enemies of people he hasn't even met.

What did you actually interrogate your professor?

I can see it now "Professor
Pinkoburg are you a leftie-pinko-commie? "Why yes Bubblehead(replace with actual name) I am a card carrying member of the Communist Party and if you do not accept my beliefs and fall in line I will report you to the Pinko Brigade!"

What makes little sense about your entire pinko leftie thing is that you have this notion that there are many people that are communists but will not admit that they are but you can believe what you want as you said nice way of showing your true colors with that mock and ridicule statement.

More than likely you just happen to encounter people of opposing political views that have your same crass attitude; I have the right to mock and ridicule people that I disagree with,I despise certain types of people nice manner of thinking gonna get you real far.

So what would you do if you where in Italy and got invited to eat with a group of communist farmers? I once got invited to a meal with some Italian farmers that where all communists it was actually one of the best meals I have ever eaten and not a word of the virtues of failures of any form of government came up at all if had your attitude I'd have missed out on one of the most enjoyable experiences in my life and not one word was mentioned about politics I know this for certain I never heard comunista uttered I did not need a translation into English to know that they had no desire to mention politics.They actually kept talking about the TV show Lassie(they had a German Sheppard named Lassie a male dog though) and about how the US fought the Germans in the region during WWII and how they where grateful that the Americans came.

Having gone up through doctoral studies, it has been my experience that the vast majority of my instructors have been moderates. I guess if someone has a far right bias, a moderate might look like a liberal.

One of my instructors described this as political parallax - where from an extremist viewpoint (right or left) most everyone seems to be the opposite.

Extremist left perceive everyone else as conservative and extremist right perceive everyone else as liberal. That's the good thing about being a moderate - everyone else is an extremist.

I have been to both "liberal" and "conservative" schools and most of my instructors have been moderates. The only "agenda" I saw being pushed was trying to understand both sides.
