Law Degree Losing Its Luster?

[DrPhil]

I was thinking about starting a thread about that.

I refuse to donate to my alma maters. They call and mail me a few times each year asking for donations. While I appreciate my alma maters, they have lost their damn minds thinking that I will donate when it already costs an arm and a leg to attend these schools and I am repaying student loans.

Generally speaking, that is why many schools receive relatively small and inconsistent donations from graduates who graduated 1-15 years ago and receive most of their money from 20+ year graduates. Again, generally speaking, people need years to get settled, repay loans if they have any, and do whatever else they are doing. We also have to either like what the school is doing or believe that our money will help change some things.

I think this would be a good new thread.
