When I said that job in Chicago was OJT, you said " What world are you 
living in? Of course, someone  who graduated at the top of his class from 
Harvard and was president of the Harvard Law Review can get top entry-level 
dollar if he chooses the right job."

My point was that he had no experience, no training and no studies that 
would prepare him for the job he got in Chicago. BEFORE he went to Harvard. 
You got defensive and wrote the above and now you're asking what the point 
was?

After Harvard he went to work in law offices and teaching at a the 
University of Chicago.  Of course, seeing who and all are profs at colleges 
in IL, well, that wouldn't be much of a reference either.

AND, let's not try to change his history yet again.  He didn't "devote 
himself to public service."  The man had a plan and he carried out the plan 
and he's right on schedule for what his goals were/are.

You weren't pointing out the obvious since he hadn't gone to Harvard before 
he went to work for the non-profit in Chicago.

BTW, working for a non-profit, such as he did, usually gets some of those 
loans forgiven.  Going back to school gets the interest stopped and the 
payments stopped until you are again out of school.
