Are people getting back to (non disaster-related) work? I'm just curious what it's like trying to run a business with so much dysfunction going on.

Do you think there's going to be a mass exodus, or do you think the people that left are going to return eventually? Have you thought about leaving? How bad would things have to get for you to give up and leave?

PS, thanks for answering questions, and sorry this thread is attracting horrible people for some reason.

Some of my peers have been encouraged to withdraw from the July Bar by the school's Bar Prep Staff.

FUCK. THAT. Unless there's some amazing counterargument I'm overlooking, that school is shamelessly hamstringing a bunch of their new grads so they can puff up their reported figures.

It is basically always to your benefit to take the exam. Even if you only have a 10% chance at passing, treat it as a practice exam and keep studying - but a practice exam that comes with a 10% chance that you'll be licensed and making more money that much sooner. In relative terms, the bar exam is still cheap, and you miss 100% of the shots you don't take - so in terms of risk/reward, it's a no-brainer.

Besides, either way, employers are probably going to notice the delay in getting your bar license. Since bar exam failures aren't reported, there's a good chance that they'll just assume from your resume that you failed the exam. If you make it to an interview and they ask you about it, well, why is "I delayed taking the bar exam to study more" a better response than "I had to retake the bar exam"? And if you don't have a good answer, they might just think you're lying - which is definitely going to tank you.

Dude, do you even realize what a complete piece of shit you're acting like?

By your own admission, most of your complaints don't even apply to this guy. He's just a guy that's going through a really unpleasant experience, and he showed up to answer questions, not even looking for sympathy.

And you're here picking a fight with him because you have a problem with other Puerto Ricans. Like he owes your dumbass an apology for something other people did that doesn't even affect you in the slightest anyway.

Seriously, imagine if you just met this guy at a party and were saying this crap to his face. How embarrassing would it be if your wife or parents or whoever saw you acting like this? And do you think anyone would feel bad if he just punched you in the mouth? Or would they just laugh when the jackass who was insulting a disaster survivor for no reason got exactly what he deserved?

Kinda like Pacman and Mrs. Pacman?

...In fact, aren't you just an aquatic Pacman, really?

How would you kill Paul Stanley? Hypothetically speaking, of course.
