I read a couple of years ago that the United States has more lawyers than the rest of the world combined.

I doubt that ratio has diminished in the intervening years.

To: Gritty

The word is getting out that finding a law career is much harder than it used to be and much less lucrative.

It’s going to take a couple of years to find a job unless you graduated in the top 10% of your class in a 1st or 2nd tier school of law.

Paying on $150,000-$200,000 in school loans can be extremely demoralizing and depressing when you send out resume after resume and don’t even get a call for an interview.

If I know of anyone who is considering going to law school, I am going to do my darndest to convince them not to. The only exception to that would be someone who has a decent paying day job and goes to law school part time. That’s hard to do, but not as hard as facing daunting loans with no job prospects at all.
