‘Sell Your Degree’ Update – Enterprising Lawyer Gives Interview
Delving further into the mind of the lawyer who hoped to sell his degree for “$59,250 or best offer”…
An unconventional way to generate a return out of his time studying law but more profitable than wearing out the buttons on his playstation. You will recall that this chap did actually manage to get stuck into a legal career but decided to jack it in – a luxury denied many recent grads. $59,250 was the amount of debt he had outstanding after “several years” of practice! Cold comfort for endebted UK students but sobering nonertheless.
Well, U.S. legal blog Above The Law managed to track down the disgruntled former lawyer to see how the firesale of his degree certificate was going.
ATL: So far I’ve received an offer for $200 and at least two dozens offers to buy me drinks. Another guy offered to give me an Ipod Nano. One girl told me I’m her soul mate and that she wants to go on a date…. I got an offer from a women lawyer with “marry me” in the subject line and a comment that my post saved her from stabbing herself with a pencil in the eye. I know, wtf?
…
The best offer was from a documentary filmmaker who offered to give me $50 to piss on my diploma and then set it on fire. Unless I get something better I’ll probably accept this offer.
Better than expected…?
