Grad school and law school aren't really comparable. It's kind of like comparing an apple to a banana. You can go and get a Ph.D in Law, although why you'd want to, I don't know - maybe to teach? The difference really is - the end goal. Also, graduating from law school with a JD doesn't make it possible to practice law. I can't practice law right now - I'd have to retake the BAR EXAM and I'd have to do it in NY (which is not happening - NY's bar makes every test you've ever taken look like a cake walk.). I could for about a year or so, practice in Kansas. But you have to take CLE courses every year to keep up your license. And pay about $50-$100 yearly in dues. $50 if inactive, higher if active. Also, just because you are licensed to practice in NY, doesn't mean you are in Kansas or vice versa. I got a license in Kansas, but since I didn't score high enough on the multi-state - I couldn't practice anywhere else.
That's why you can't really compare Grad School to Professional School. One isn't necessarily easier or better than the other - they are just two different ways of teaching and thinking with a completely different end goal in sight. Personally, I think I'd have done better in Grad school - but I don't really know.
I started taking Sociology as an undergrad minor and hated it. I took a general Anthropology course, liked it and switched to that as a minor.
Did the same thing. Hated sociology. Instead went the Anthropology route for my minor. Sociology reminds me a lot of philosophy and psychology - they are called the soft sciences for a reason. Of the three, I disliked sociology the most.
I didn't know I was dyslexic till late in college. I was lucky it wasn't worse. I'm glad you got some help with taking the BAR. With me from Junior High onward my grades kept getting better,
Same. I found workarounds. Until Law School. I didn't know I was dyslexic until a poetry teacher pointed it out to me in my Sophmore year of undergrad - because she was too, and caught me doing something she'd do to compensate for it. I was reading a poem aloud, and she was watching how I read it.
I think they are handling it better now than when we were in school. A lot of kids weren't as lucky as we were and fell between the cracks.
