Speaker happy to present on how fucked we are

Jon Michael, The Stool

The bleak economic forecast is concerning for many of this year's crop of Mitchellites, but one upcoming speaker doesn't see what the problem is. "I'm happy to help point out to all of these bright future lawyers that I have a job, and they probably won't," said the Career Strategies for the Great Recession lecture speaker. "The best part is, I'm being paid to point out the obvious -- you have to love tuition."

Student attendees have a different outlook. "I think [the program] will be informative and useful," said 3L Lana Helms. "Of course, I don't need to work anymore. I went to New York City last week to meet with a business associate I met on the internet, and long story short, I happen to be the proud new owner of a certain historic bridge leading from Manhattan to Brooklyn. Law school is for suckers."

The Stool has been able to obtain a copy of the "What Now?" conference's schedule, listed below.
