Closely bundled because they are all crooks and frauds. Except Walter Williams
I have been seeing a chiropractor for almost 20 years.
As much as you want them to be a fraud, mine is not.
I go in crippled and come out much better.
Chiropractors are crooks or frauds because they don't push expensive and dangerous drugs?!?
True, some lawyers have their ethics surgically removed at birth. But not all of us, okay?

Hate lawyers all you want, just remember your hatred when you sidle up to one at the next cocktail party for some "free" advice.
And by the way, not all lawyers are the highly-paid gazillionaires everyone thinks. Most are paid modestly - likely in the neighborhood of $50k or so, depending on geographical location.
The ones that make the big bucks in NYC, LA and other metro-centers work the equivalent of 2 or 3 full time jobs (120+ billable hours a week and 150+ overall hours). Take two or three full time jobs doing exactly what you do and you'll double or triple your salary and you'll make the big bucks as well. But don't forget to kiss your wife and kids in the 20 minutes you see them - if you remember what they look like. . . .
I never knew they made so little.
