I have one semester left but I just found out 5 minutes ago that our registration system messed up and didn't register me for any classes.

So instead of taking what I want (the good classes are all filled) I'm left taking the leftovers that arecrappy classes, bad professors and at 7:30 in the morning.

I'm fed up and thinking of quitting.

I won't be making lots of money because I don't have a job.

I go to a top law school, so like 90% of my class mates have jobs lined up. (BTW, my GPA is middle of the road so that's not the reason) This means that every day at least 3 people as me, "What firm are you working at next year?"

That also get pretty damn annoying.

Raise hell and make them let you into the classes. Go screaming and crying or whatever to the Dean's office and do not let up. One more person in the class won't hurt. No. Do not quit. I always felt really sorry for the people who dropped out. At least make it through the last semester get out and think of the good jobs you can get. Even if you do not go into law practice, the J.D. still opens a lot of doors. Even if you have to take crappy classes just take them and get finished.

If you have one semester left of law school and you want to quit because of a crappy class, then you are spoiled, should quit, and run home to mommy. How did you find out 5 minutes ago? Is it not 4 AM?

With only 1 semester left, you should go all the way! Even if you don't know what you're going to be doing after you graduate, at least having graduated is accomplishment enough to put on your resume.

Though you have good reason for your frustration, it won't hurt them if you quit - only you. You have invested a lot of time, energy, and money and you are very close to finishing.

Instead, why don't you use this situation to gain some experience in advocating for yourself. Since it was the system's fault, perhaps you could plead your case to administrators high enough up the ladder to be able to resolve your situation. Use the anger for yourself; it's a great energy source for fueling action. Direct it in a constructive way for yourself.

Quit without notification, to anyone. Get drunk. Sleep as long as possible. Upon waking, resolve to never again try to avoid honest, productive labor. Become a truckdriver. Serve your fellowman with vigor and sincerity. You'll love it, I promise.

if you have one semester left why would you want to quit now? Maybe just sig out this semester. Sounds like you could use a break

7 a.m.? Lousy professors? Who cares! That's life. 7 a.m. is nothing. Finish the semester, deal with it, and move on with your life afterwards.

Can you not speak to your teachers, if it is something you like doing, then i dont think you should, but it is up to you.
Can you not take the course somewhere else, or even do a law degree online?
I would speak to your teachers explain how you feel, this is not something you have caused your self so the school should do something to help.

That is not a good thinking.
