Does either do better in its major regional market than the other (NYC v. DC)? With W&L is there less of a guarantee at DC than the relative certainty of NYC for dozo? Thanks for any input.

I mean, for Michigan, if you can clerk for a federal judge, that's like 70k for a year right (from the clerks I've talked to). And then assuming a clerk bonus from a big/mid firm you're making 120-170k for at least the 3 years you're an associate with them. If you take out 150k debt and are able to pay back 10k the first ...
