Labor law. It’s not the most interesting of law school subjects, but it is definitely not the worst. In fact, just yesterday, I was messing around with fellow Co-Founder of AccessAthletes.com (yes, I was a founder of the site), Matthew Allinson, about how dry the subject can be.

A young-adult receives many benefits from going to college. The education attained from living on your own for the first time, sitting in on lectures taught by the best of their trades, drinking too much certain nights, etc. is tough to learn elsewhere.
