One Virginia Law Student's Monument to Rejection





We have all felt the sting of rejection.

Law students have been particularly stung of late, as law firms continue to be rather parsimonious with job offers.

But a third year law student  at the University of Virginia  has turned rejection into an art form: the attached model of UVA Law built entirely out of law-firm rejection letters!!

Here's the Above the Law post that broke the news of this deranged act of brilliance. The sculptor was not identified by ATL.

Helping people is over-rated.  Hurting people by placing them in long-term incarceratin is where the self-satisfaction comes from.   

Interesting. I assumed you would've argued "helping people by placing them in long-term incarceration > being an ACLU lawyer."

Upon reflection, I like your answer more than mine.

The problem is the debt- it hampers any movement so if I decide I hate it, I can't just give it up and do something else. I'm sure I want to be a lawyer now, but I'm not sure I want to be a lawyer in 20 years.

Or 3.

It's terrible.  I wouldn't recommend it.

At least he got rejection letters. I rarely get so much as that.
