I work 45 hrs a week, workout 3x a week, and study 4x a week, 2 hrs each session
I want to start law school after accounting and I'm wondering if I should just take fewer courses and study for like an hour a day
Yeah I'm only taking one course per semester. But I only need 5 and Itheyre available during summer. Feel like a master's is a different monster altogether. It's doable but you won't have a life outside of work and school
>I'm wondering if I should just take fewer courses and study for like an hour a day
Lawyer here - the basic answer is that you shouldn't have a nice day, BUT you should be very concerned about grades/school prestige now.
There are a lot of secret layoffs happening at big firms, albeit in indirect ways (think what Google is doing - for example, letting people go and not replacing them, pushing people out by intentionally overburdening them, etc.). The summer classes this year are smaller and more competitive, and there are way fewer positions at the end of those programs. It reminds me of my summering after the Latham debacle in 2008, where people had to fricking FIGHT for job offers. You will definitely need to have good grades from a good school to get the job opportunities you want, so don't go to some TTT and barely scrape by.
While you are in law school, do not become obsessed. Do not hang out with other law students, who will usually be shitheads. Exercise daily, have hobbies outside of law school, and study at least 1-2 hours a day (do NOT cram). You'll be happier, healthier, have better grades, etc.
Big picture, a warning: legal work sucks and you shouldn't push too hard for a prestigious law firm position. Being a partner at a white shoe law firm generally involves taking a $5M++ loan, sleeping on a cot in your office, and panicking. Few have good family lives, good health, etc. It's not worth it. You will not be happy, full stop. Most people from my law school graduating class dropped out of law firms and are now in some sort of comfier in-house or non-profit position. I'm a partner at a firm, but only because it's a mid-sized place where I get to define my practice (e.g., work from home, exercising whenever the frick I want to, refusing to sacrifice time for family/friends).
tl;dr: Do study hard, but don't compromise grades/school quality, and don't sacrifice your life just to ruin it forever.
It's so nice knowing all the infinitely successful people we have here on fit. Even work from home rich partners of law firms post here. Wow.
I can pull 2 hours a day tbh. I do exceptionally in school in accounting this way so I'm sure I can pull it with law
Can kind of confirm your advice but also
>DON’T SLACK YOUR 1L 1st SEMESTER, I screwed it up my first semester and I actually have to try for the rest of my years
>DO get into study groups. Just know a topic real well and get involved
>DO SHIT OUTSIDE OF LAW SCHOOL, like church groups or politics clubs
>GO TO THE LAW SCHOOL GYM. You’ll find the least pompous people there and they’re often 2L’s and 3L’s who are happy to help you on your Law journey
all lawyers are israelite scum he should kill himself and so should you

Is amerimutt law school really that easy?
I had to study for 4+ hours a day to get good grades here in yurop.
Where did I say I was going to law school, Nigel Mohammad?
yea but no everyone else is a moron
How do you keep cognitive energy and sharpness after a long day of work? My mind is fried by the end of the work day, and all I want to do is lift weights (or some sort of exercise) which doesn't require much mental resources. What are your hacks?
>ow do you keep cognitive energy and sharpness after a long day of work?
EC and addy
EC?
You're too fried to do what? I hit the gym before work or during lunch, I cook, read, play video games, and walk the dog at night. I don't consider any of that mentally stressful.
Barbecue takes ~15 minutes end to end. Pasta takes ~45 minutes. Stir-fries take sub 30. You have the time to do these things. You can read and enjoy a beer / glass of wine while doing it.
Studious pussy got me contemplating why the heirchical structure in societal norms objectively counteract the historical implications often seen in nuanced esoteric narratives whilst the whole dogmatic notion is viewed through a convoluted freudian lens of abstractions
>nuanced esoteric narratives
wut
So real
Because the liberalised social norms enforced upon the current communal decorum totally counteracts the natural hierarchical order of antiquitous times which actually propelled the impetus of human wellbeing; and from this simple assertion you may rationalise the existence of a hypersocial class of anti-human agenda.
this was the most reddit shit Ive witnessed for a long time here.
It's a joke, moron. Lighten up
A+ anon, i thought your essay was thought-provoking, and dare i say it, challenging of the very theoretical constructs we build upon. You have a great future in academia.
Stop posting on 4chinz Mr Peterson.
>blames the israelites
>gets called jordan peterson
this board is moronic
real
where tf did you get my thesis statement from
Lel. Reminds me of this:
moronic girl pussy got me strugglin to read and comprehend basic language on a fundamental level
>be me

>wake up at 6
>do two hours of school
>go about the rest of my day
focusing on school work first thing in the morning makes me unbelievably productive.
>>do two hours of school
Good luck competing in the CS industry with that lmao
I study at work.
I work 50 hours, cook dinner for me and my girlfriend (she cleans), and workout ~6+ hours a week. I sleep about ~7 hours a day and wake up without an alarm.
Prioritize your time. ~1 hour of video games is enough per day. It's more than I got as a kid. Life is suffering, you get a break when you die.
jesus fricking christ what a body
Trick is to apply some smarts when presented the opportunity to optimise these tasks to take less time. Keep a question mark hanging in your head and you'll start seeing opportunities. Its tough, still. gl.
Pick am easy major
you could be doing any of those 4 things instead of being on IST
no free time is how
sniff check haha
>wake up
>gym
>work
>social activitys
>sleep
Its literally that easy
Yooooo guys how do you find time to make food while doing school, work and working out
prep a bunch of easy to cook food once a week
Okay but is it possible to have gf while doing this
Uh! Excuse me, sex please?!
You don't. I had to sacrifice sleep, but I was young enough to get away with it.
How young
I'm a lawyer and work all week while I'm also finishing up a masters program. Still plenty of time in the day. Wake up at 4:30/5, hit the gym in the morning, get home usually by 6. Couple hours to hang with fiancee/relax, then bed by 8:30/9 on the weekdays. Weekends are for studying. Just get up early. The morning is the best part of the day.
Thanks man. You think 1.5-2 hours will do if I start early
No problem. 1.5-2 hours in the gym? I mean yeah, personally I'm in the gym 7x a week (not always lifting, sometimes cardio or another sport) so I keep it to around one hour. If you're in the gym 4-6x per week, you probably don't need more than one hour.
I'm talking 1.5-2 studying ahahaha
I flunked right before getting my degree (aka thesis defense) and managed to make a solid corporate career anyway, higher education is usually one big scam, even when it's "free"

when I went back for my masters worked 60 hours a week, school about 20 hours, working out 6 hours after sleeping 8 hours a night that leaves you with 26 hours in a week to commute/meal prep/take girls out/sit and watch the sunset people are just bad at time management
Thanks for the encouragement
How many hours a day do you study .
I worked ~55hrs while also taking 18 credit hours recently. The only reason I was able to keep up with fitness is that the course material wasn't too challenging and I didn't have to study nearly as much as I did in the past. Even then, I really only had time to lift twice a week most often. Going for a run at night along the lake really helped keep me sane between work, studies, and frequent medical visits for some shit I'm dealing with.
If you're going to do this OP don't stress too much about optimizing fitness. Real gains will be few and far between but that's okay, prioritize your work and education. You can worry about getting swole later, just aim for maintenance and don't shoot for PRs unless you're really in a good place.
Hey thanks for replying. To be fair I'm going for a lean athletic look. Don't wanna get big anymore. Shit, I just workout for 30-45 minutes a day. I'm hoping to be able to study for 2 hours a day
I study, work, lift and swim. I also sleep 8 hours, my advise is to only study before the final exam
You think I could pull it off studying 1-2 hours a day from the start of the semester if I take one class at a time.
Justin Sung course to save time on school.
SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
the only answer ive found to working out, work and studying is sacrificing my (non-existent) social life
I feel you. It is what it is . Gotta do what you gotta do
