Would you hire him, knowing nothing else?

He has several other non-legal businesses. Most successful lawyers are semi-serial entrepreneurs.DeWrecking Crew said:91AggieLawyer said:The Wonderer said:

Hell no, he obviously over charges

Assuming these Ferrari drivers have been highly successful in their chosen professions, why are they so stuck on telling the world around them that they were less successful in school? Seems like a big chip on their shoulder? Who cares? And my question to them would be what kind of GPA do they want their kids to strive for?

I get what you're saying, but my point is that everyone knows a GPA means nothing 2-3 years out of school. It only had value in getting your first job, when your resume had little to differentiate it from 1000s of others. So why dwell on it? Who cares whether it was 1.9 or a 3.9? And if the dude has legitimately made it and can afford that car, isn't there something way cooler he could brag about in those 6-7 characters, or perhaps just let the car do his talking? It just seems like he needs to let it go. Yep he had way more fun in school than the 3.9 crowd and is now way more successful than many of them too, but drop the GPA stick, it's stupid and seems small. I categorize this as an "act like you've been here before thing." Show a little class, a little modesty, and just let you $350k car do the talking for you if you have to make a statement.Stat Monitor Repairman said:You got to read it another way.Roger350 said:

Dude partied hard through school had a good time, graduated with a 2.1, and now owns a Ferrari.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter how you got there.
Its either hard work or get lucky. Sometimes both.

Nobody laughed when I got a 5.0.

Most times I hear this are from people justifying why they aren't doing better in school. I had a friend tell me the top people in Med School make better professors but the bottom half ones make better real doctors.

The reason you primarily see this with 2.0 gpa, is because they stuck 150k+ in a car instead of the market. Plus, when is the lease up on this thing?
