Many years ago, my retired-AF-MSgt dad, who only had a GED, worked at an employment agency for a while in California. He told me even then: anyone with “-ology” in their degree simply was not hire-able.
US Army, Eleven-Bravo!
Normally I don’t encourage ambulance-chasing, but in the case of our illustrious institutions of Marxist education, I’ll make an exception.
Where to begin?
It’s not surprising. It’s a conspiracy by both lawyers, educators, and gov’t bureaucrats to shaft taxpayers and lawyers.
For all the fraud and abuse of the charter of the Legal Services Corporation, it’s a mechanism to provide employment to Dem activist lawyers that should have been shut down long ago.
State political hacks and education bureaucracies have been adding more law schools for no other reason than to provide sinecures for themselves and other deadbeats. Both CA & MA have done so in recent years, in spite of the over-supply of lawyers.
I haven’t heard about other states.
I just graduated with a masters in mining engineering and I’m 61 years old. I get at least 3 good job offers a week and have people coming up to me at professional meetings and offering jobs. Pay ranges from $80K to $180K if I’m willing to relocate to the Congo.
Kids with bachelors degrees in engineering are starting at $60K/year. Science degrees are a bit lower, but getting lots of offers.
The folks with art, history, education, psy degrees - they can’t even get jobs at fast-food places unless they speak Spanish.
For you Mississippians out there:
“I don’t talk to Mississippi State Graduates very often, but when I do, I alway order large fries”. yuck yuck yuck
You can substitute the school of your choice.
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but whatever they told you is just the first of MANY, MANY lies you will be told, especially if you listen to the federal government. The most important thing you can learn in grad school is who and what to believe.
Employers are on to the fact that, outside of the hard science and engineering colleges and degrees, someone with a baccalaureate today leaves college with an education roughly equivalent to or significantly less than what a public high school diploma in the 1960's demonstrated. Possessing a PhD is now the equivalent of hanging a sign around one's neck reading "Useless but Arrogant Twit". The university system is just one more bubble in this society that is long overdue for bursting.
And specifically as it applies to a graduate degree in Law, did the writer and his cohorts not themselves notice or did no one inform them that there are already far too many "f***ing lawyers" in this country and that they are hated by the vast majority of their fellow citizens? Suckers!
Law scool grads suing their law schools; the irony is delicious.
