Last Class

Professor B said some moving things in his last speech in class today, before he left amidst our applause.

One of the point he made is "don't just go where the money is. They may be using the money to pay you for the opportunity cost of not pursuing something else that could also be of great value to you, but the value of which is more diffuse and difficult to measure. Money is easily quantifiable and concrete, which is why many people tend to overvalue money and undervalue those 'other things' that are harder to quantify. You should make sure that when you go for the money, the extra money really does adequately pay for all those other values that you may be giving up."

This is of course common sense, but very nicely put. It got me thinking about this all day.

Wow now law school is REALLY half over. I am a little sad.
