I remember having a combined sense of relief and dread when I found out I passed the bar. Which is probably not what you're looking for there.

Are you an attorney, Pretzel Sloot?
I *really* want to be sympathetic for this kid, there’s just too much millennial, self-entitlement ******** to unpack from this.
“Any help would be appreciated.” Let’s start with a BarBri subscription and work our way from there. Nobody is going to hand you a bar license because your feelings are hurt and you’ll have to post a retraction on Facebook.
Oh, and if this hiccup is enough to give an “entire legal career a black eye,” then maybe this isn’t the right profession.
Let's not jump to conclusions, wodie. Still need a few more clues to crack that hydra-level code.
that's my bad.
I too have zero sympathy toward anyone for anything. F everyone.
Now you're gettin' it, fella!
Sitting in my closet and snorting Afrin for the rest of this **** day.
How long of a gap was it between when they told the lawyers they passed and when they told them it was a mistake?
I signed up for a Constant Contact account, but decided to go with Mail Chimp instead. Even though I've never used it beyond setting up a free account, I've had to unsubscribe from their mass emails about a half dozen times, and I've gotten a voicemail from Brad every single day for 2 weeks.
So......props to them, I guess?

-may be a lesson here in not posting/bragging about every aspect of ones life *in real time* on social media. Slow down, kids. Life comes at you fast. Still feel bad for the folks.
No judging here. I totally get it.

I feel like the best way to avoid the whole embarrassing situation is to not fail the entrance exam into your own profession. I would start there and then build off of that.
My two best friends in the world are attorneys and they're like brothers to me. One of their wife's is an attorney as well.
But when the lawyers in here start piping up (especially early) and piling on and telling everyone else how bad being in law is... nah.
It's more insufferable than hearing from teachers

It’s my understanding from this thread that being an attorney only affords you 5 hours of free time a day to post on a message board so seems pretty demanding tbh
<-- sells insurance.
Mine is a career where you work hard for 5/10/15 years, build a nice book of business, then hire other people to handle all the menial bs so you can spend your time golfing, drinking, lunching, and dining and calling it "work."
Really upset I didn't start my business much, much sooner. 1 1/2 years in, and I'm definitely ready for that "make a ton of money and don't work much" phase.

So let me get this right. There are applicants who thought they may have been spared a career in law only to find out they had indeed passed?

If I didn't have my path pretty much set up for me from the day I was born and went back in time, insurance would for sure be the game I would want to be in.
My agent buys and flips farms, travels, does whatever he wants, and basically is just enjoying the touch out of life while his underlings do most of the work. He's my age, makes a ton more money than I do and honestly I'm just his biggest fan. He worked the business hard like PTi layed out, and like we assume BBdK does, and now is enjoying the fruits of his labor. Just send in those renewals baby. I'd switch spots with him in a heartbeat.

-Wasn't aware the pretzel was a lawyer. That's neat.
-IMO, the prospective blood suckers should that didn't actually didn't pass the bar should defer to this line, "Did you say Jerry Gallo, Gallo with a G? Jerry Gallo is dead. I'm Jerry Callo. C-A-L-L-O."
^Fantastic movie and where I get all my legal knowledge. Which puts me ahead of like 98% of practicing attorneys.
-I'm just spitting mad over this school ********. Unbelievable. Fired off a email to our superintendent, so I'm that guy and years old I guess.
-Fish tacos last night were fire. Sloot and her sisters made some pickled jalapenos that are straight fire.
-Do we even have a sun anymore? Has anyone seen it?
-Friday 5 + 2:

Pac - I get around

Wayne - A Mili or Stuntin Like My Daddy (you try to pick)

I mean, I get it. You shouldn't be admitted to practice law just because you were told you passed and you actually didn't (though whether passing the bar exam has anything to do with how capable one is of being a competent attorney is a different discussion altogether, but I digress . . .)
Still just would really suck to experience that.

This sounds tough, man. Prayers.
Speaking of Insurance, do you have a bounty on your head SAE? Lmao.
Best I can gather you run around and dig up 'invisible' claims from 10-15 years ago - do I have that about right?
-Lose Yourself is obviously an iconic song in pop culture, but that's a very Chaddish selection. I'll go, even though most of these would change on any given day:
Pac - Can't See Me
Em - ***** Please 2
Wayne - Steady Mobbin
Big - Juicy
Kanye - Through the Wire
Kast - Southernplayalistic...
Ross - Stay Schemin

Is there something wrong with holding carriers accountable for policies they write and collect on?
That's not the case at all btw.

When BarBri got sued and had to pay out class action settlement checks to the people like me savvy enough to fill out a postcard.... man those unexpected random checks were AWESOME.
Maynard is a noted lawyer hater. Appreciate a good Tool take.
Obviously I noticed this about Maynard because I'm an ATTORNEY who PRACTICES LAW and REPRESENTS CLIENTS and I HATE MY LIFE which I know was top secret information before, feels good to get it off my chest.
Wait...what happened? I was generally pleased with BarBri (little overpriced but whatever).
Who are you to point your finger...
Guess they regulate the medical field a little more than the law dogs...we have to pass 3 licensing exams, then a written and oral exam for board certification.
Insurance sounds dope, think I’d be a financial planner or Hvac heir in another life...if rockstar or pro athlete weren’t on the table.

If you were ever part of a family business, you'd possibly change your tune. Im sure Anth can chime in, but its not nearly as easy as most think, in fact, it can be more difficult than a normal gig because you have to have Thanksgiving dinner with your partners you're arguing with.
I'm sure you aced the "oral" exam.
Boom.
Boom.
