Not too surprising, given the large number of lawyers there are.
What we need is for more people to become doctors, and fewer people to become lawyers. But as long as you have laws that restrict the number of doctors, you’re going to have more young people going into other professions.
All you need to make a lawyer is a classroom, books, teacher...that's why there are so many basement walkdown law schools. You need a hugely expensive infrastructure to educate doctors, dentists, PAs...
So if you think some kind of guild system kept you out of medical school, you've been living a life of misguided resentment.
