Is it really worth it to spend thousands of dollars and an entire year in school just to speak to recruiters who MAY or MAY NOT not hire you?  I assume you have experience, so you can apply for most jobs online.

Donald, its a lost cause, this is our only chance to get back into the big 4 or top firm. Of course we will have to be in the top of the class to get hired. Like the other guys said maybe we can "teach" at a community college as a side job.

If you just want to speak to recruiters, you can watch for the job fairs of local schools and sneak in.  I've heard of people doing that successfully and at least getting interviews that way, although I have not personally done so myself.

Have you considered doing an MBA?  There are lots of on-campus recruiters there too, especially at the top 20 schools.  I don't know if the Big 4 recruit from MBA programs, but lots of banks recruit there.
