本科在瓷器学的管理文科，硕士学的计算机，如果有身份的话，我最近在家里帮老师做免费ra，说之后可以读phd但是工资，我每天就是claude code，完全不知道自己有什么作用，没有那种学到知识的感觉（不知道有没有人理解），真的很不开心，有点想去读JD了，我有gre330，申请一个普通州立的JD问题不大吧应该，不知道律师会不会被替代，但是有在思考这样放弃三年转码的努力真的值得吗（但是cs现在就业真的地狱）

想听听各位的意见

本人 CE 本科在读中，之前做了一次实习也是天天和 llm 对话。最可恶的是老板的需求也是用 claude 写的，实习结束没有学到任何东西反而憋了一肚子焦虑和委屈。现在马上要毕业，就业就是一坨，往上读研究方向也不明确。MARK 一下蹲其他人回答

lawyer是跑不掉AI的. 又是文字, 白領, 工資又高. 已經在搞這個的了.

junior岡會大幅縮少, 除非你家在美加有network內推你, 或者你去卷T14靠學校人脈; 還想著普通州立, 換一個path吧.

不一定非要卷biglaw，有身份可以去pd da 常年缺人也不用担心被ai期待，敲代码和非诉被取代的风险是一样高的

我感觉不是很好找，除非公民，绿卡不好找工作，连公民都不好找，失业的太多了

if you only have green card, you are out for DA already i guess. probably also federal level PD, meaning that you are only eligible for fighting for local PD?

didnt check that, either it is super competitive, or with quite low salary. There are no shortage of lawyer in USA as law has been a pretige path for years.

Also for CS jobs in public sector, it is no less competitive than securing one in the private sector. There are way more CS grads than JD grads each year, and less demand for CD grads especially for gov.

Networking and school pedigree are important for finding good jobs, not necessary for finding a job, there is an inherent difference between the two. UC Hastings Law, ranked 85 among 200 ish ABA-accredited law schools, is arguably mid to low tier depending on how you perceive the ranking, but definitely not as prestigious as T14. Last year, it had only 5 out of 354 grads that were actively seeking employment yet ended up unemployed, that’s roughly 1.5% unemployment rate due to inability to find a job. Are you saying that the rest of the cohort all had some sort of family connection to find a placement?

you need a good job to earn good $$$ to repay your JD tuition.......

that is USA. you have to consider the ROI.

it is not UK (you can get a LLB at normal degree price level and paying only for 1 degree), nor EU / Japan, or even China which have really lower tuition and open the path via state exam.

Have you forgotten PSLA for lawyer jobs in the public sector? And if your stats are higher than the targeting schools you will likely get scholarships higher than one with medians similar to yours? Say one’s GPA and LSAT would knock open Berkeley and they applied to UC Hastings instead (the one I used in the previous comment), it is foreseeable that they will get a full scholarship from Hastings.

另, 我覺得這post的背景很不清楚:

  1. 瓷器学的管理文科 <--- BBA? in what major? (less important) which level of uni (985/211/lower)?

  2. 硕士学的计算机 <--- which country? which level of uni?

  3. 如果有身份的话 <--- 哪的身份? 那是有還是沒?

  4. 在家里帮老师做免费ra <--- remotely? professor of your CS master uni?

  5. 说之后可以读phd但是工资 <--- 但是工资怎樣了?

1.211，专业不重要吧，管理学有啥区别吗 2.美国啊这不明显吗 3.美国啊 4.自己学校 5.工资没谈过，ta吧反正不高现在没啥funding

  1. some can be useful for interdiscipline, e.g. CS with application in XXX, and you have the domain knowledge, if you have a solid study in XXX from a very good uni in China (well 211 doesnt count normally), and this can be leveraged well in some subfield.
  2. for JD, it can be canada, so please be explicit. and more importantly , what level of uni? e.g. US news subject ranking around what level? wherther a PhD is useful or not depends on this a LOT. (master also actually)
  3. so do you have that already? if not yet, it can be very risky to plan based on that being approved.
  4. ok.
  5. go check about the salary / funding. this matters a lot for decision.

没说的肯定没有啊，connection肯定没有，家里最多可以让我在家里住着，去外地就不可以了，除了基本工资（like1500 monthly以及暑假寒假无工资我的师姐就是这样，普通州立已经说了）和phd offer以外，这就是我考虑读普通州立的JD以及cs phd的原因，因为可以不负房租，everything就是这样了，小时候努力过，现在是普通人，有点经不起努力转码然后失业这种事了

SHChan1986 · 2026-05-05 15:50:21 UTC · +1 · ok2uevg · ↗

"有点经不起努力转码然后失业" <--- it is NOT your fault. it is common in the US system that the student take their loan for some education / trainning, AND also take the downside risk of the job market / industry trend.

"普通州立" <--- this is a bit too general somehow.......state university really varies a lot.

P.S. don't you need pay a quite high tuition for JD? does your budget allows that or you will have to depend on scholarship / loan?

如果是知名州立肯定说了，普通州立就是us news排名70-80的公立大学，学费只能找父母，就是最后一次了吧，找你说学法律也不好，那两个对比那个相对好一点，同样的努力和资质的话，我真不知道代码届之后会变成什么样，我看现在学姐都在用ai写论文，而且发的还是顶会，老师也同意了觉得她写的不错，其实都是ai写的，包括她论文的实现，连idea也是她让ai读了100篇论文然后帮她想的，这样之后真的公司也需要这样的人才吗

SHChan1986 · 2026-05-05 16:23:54 UTC · +1 · ok31xat · ↗

这样之后真的公司也需要这样的人才吗 <--- it depends what problem she solves. people in industry are using LLM a lot also, so using AI itself maybe not a real problem, but rather useful experience.

the key point here is, coding can hardly be the core skill that get the way into job market, like SDE etc. as they rarely take fresh graduate anyway. it is more about how to use the skills in real world application, where coding / using claude to code is just a tool, and know about the domain and able to get the task done is.

and that's the reason why i asked you what's your major in bachelor. it can be a 2nd major / 2nd domain somehow. imagine your BBA is in SCM, plus a CS master, that can be useful in OR / logistics etc. imagine your BBA is in finance, fintech can be the way to go, imageine etc...where a stand alone CS/BBA major student lack the domain / technical knowledge for those fields.

conside coding as a tool, rather than the core skill for job market. CS is not (only) software engineering, but science about computer (and computation). think about what those computational skills can be applied to.

P.S. you will see classmate using Gemini or Claude to do their JD assignments when you get in.

管理文科就不是供应链或者金融啊，管理文科特指市场营销人力资源工商管理物流管理等毫无技术含量的文科，估计我还是会一条路走到黑，其实老师给的工资真的可以忽略不计，主要是最后的出路

SHChan1986 · 2026-05-05 16:40:35 UTC · +1 · ok35nq5 · ↗

物流管理 = logistic / SCM as mentioned.
市场营销 <--- can go on digital marketing / marketing (quant) research.

dont get into the narative of 文科 vs 理科 anymore. it is univeristy not high school anymore.

你还是太不了解瓷器的本科了，说了文科管理就是可以忽略，这也是为什么我不说211的原因，就是哪怕985的文科管理也是啥也没教

也可以重新考lsat，不用gre，其实我英语没那么好，初中开始学英语，大学毕业才来美国，重新考lsat，就是这两条路都不简单，所以我想慎重选择，几乎选了就是一辈子，选择人生

Ok-Average-8334 · 2026-05-05 16:40 UTC · +3 · ok35j1p · ↗

非美本申JD有一个很大的阻碍就是没有GPA，需要你有比申请学校75 percentile更高的lsat成绩才能有机会被考虑。如果现在考虑转LSAT，不脱产学的话很难卷出很高的成绩。但如果你想去一般的州立法学院且你认为这个gre成绩够的话，为什么不试一试呢？

没有公民身份的话不好找工作。美国很多政府岗位，如da，需要公民身份。
