Law School Secret: Bad Job Market
Posted Sep 24, 2007, 06:04 am CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The job market is tough for many recent law grads, who are pointing their
fingers at law schools for failing to warn them about their dim prospects.
Top pay for new associates at the big law firms is $160,000, but most
beginning lawyers make far less at the same time they are paying off tuition
loans as high as $100,000 or more, the Wall Street Journal reports (sub.

中国人（特指出生在中国的）似乎是前者多
举个例子，今年来的summer associate有只有两个中国人，都是十几岁来美国的，自然
是这边读的本科，列一下他们的credential吧
1，MIT本科，Caltech PHD，Yale law，技术背景化学
2，MIT本科，MIT PHD，NYU law，技术背景电子
另外还有和中国沾边有两位ABC，他们就没有PHD，一个是MS+Umich law，一个是BS+

很多时候，事情存在不可比性，采样太全面了反而对你没有太多指导意义，原因是因为
你本身很特别，没法和普遍现象比了。

发帖数: 6402 | 3 I'm 27 now and expect to finish my PhD (in Biochemistry) in the fall of 2008
. I'm contemplating working for 2 - 3 years before switching to the law
field. I worked 1 yr after I finished college in China and decided to do
this PhD 2004.
I wonder if it is kind of late to start law school at the age of 30? or
should I try to start immediately after getting my PhD. I'll be on myself

school and I'm afraid the financial pressure will stress me out.

First, you have to understand the bi-peak distribution of the law salary.
There are $160k job at big law and there are $60k job at local small law
firms.
Second, For Chinese who came here for grad school and received a master or
phd degree, everyone can get a job paying more than $60k in his original
field without any difficulty. It does not make any sense for them to go to a
lower ranked school with expectation of getting a job at local law firm
paying $60k. That's why everyone |

junior忙到死，associate一年二年生80小时工作周还属于加班概念 三年生就已经习以
为常。我认识一个阿姨 middle 40‘s 因为进law这个行业迟，每天下班11点以后，女
儿根本没时间照顾。所以很多律师最后自己practice是有原因的。
2 如果以后有回国打算，大家会建议我进入 law这个行业吗？ 或者说美国的教育背景
（美国的JD) 回到国内会被认可吗？
JD目前回国还算有优势，我知道几个case回国的薪水在50-80万之间 但是中国人读的越
来越多，薪资在在下降
3 进入这个行业有多难？ 对于中国人来讲，最大的障碍是什么？
语言，如果高等教育不是在美国接受，在美国没有呆满5年以上，写作是最大的问题

发帖数: 733 | 33 在网上查了一下，Stokes' Law是用来求微小球体在连续粘滞流体中的阻力用的，公式为F=6pi mu R V，其中mu为粘度viscosity 1.8e-5(Newton second meter^-2)，R为球体半径，V为球体速度。但是看到一篇Science 1966年vol. 161 pp.1322的一篇文章，用Stokes' Law来求悬臂梁在连续粘滞流体中振动的阻力。
文章是这么说的，Using Stokes’ law for the damping force per unit area, we obtain … 求出来的转动阻尼系数(单位Newton*second*meter/rad) 为c=1.03*24 mu M/rho/d/w，其中mu为粘度viscosity 1.8e-5，M为质量惯性矩形 kg m^2，rho为悬臂梁材料密度，d和w分别为悬臂梁厚度和宽度。对悬臂梁，因为M=rho*d*w*L^3/12，c可简化为c=1.03*2 mu L^3。(或c=1.03*2 mu d L^2)。
