Don't borrow money for school...it can hurt you and those close to you...

You're right. And frankly, I've been following edu trends for a little while now, maybe about 10 years, and for YEARS and YEARS and YEARS the topic has been beaten to death that law school grads (who passed their bar) can't find work and are working as paralegals. In fact, my poor memory recalls one of our members here who a paralegal (is that right? who remembers her?) and her office had lawyers working in the office for pennies just to get a job. This isn't new- I mean it's been on the radar at least as long as before this kid started law school. So really, if anyone does "research" they would know this, but I think it's more a case of people don't believe it. The college propaganda is so exceptionally strong, and it's a pretty consistent song, that it is nearly impossible to dissuade people from doing it anyway.

You're right, the oversupply of lawyers has popped up on the news regularly for many years.
