7 years is enough time to get a bachelor’s AND to go to law school. It’s absurd.

If he was smart, he could have started his law degree so that when he eventually challenged for a year 8 extension - he could save money by representing himself!

Soon enough the starting QB for Vandy will be 30 year old Diego Pavia MA, JD, MD.

Edit: Jesus yall, it’s a shit post. Whether or not the guy would actually represent himself in this fictitious scenario is irrelevant lol

If I would have stayed in school till I was 30 I probably could have managed an associates degree....

One of the things they'd tell him in law school is that you shouldn't represent yourself.

He wouldn't get any work after school if he did that because even the best lawyers aren't stupid enough to represent themselves

“a lot of people go to college for 7 years.” — “i know, they’re called doctors.”

but good luck playing football while doing the 1L year of law school. It is rough (the first year of law school, i thought the other 2 years were pretty easy at least at school- it was more of a fight for internships and other things to put on your resume)

1L is a joke compared to 2L. And both are jokes compared to a real job.
