Poor Lawyers

There are 16 optometry schools in the country. That's why they say, "C=OD" (you pass, you graduate). And implicit in this maxim is another, namely, that OD=job.

That's not the case, unfortunately, for graduates and graduates-to-be of the nation's 196 accredited law schools. (Yes, there are unaccredited law schools, too. And yes, people who pay good money for a law degree knowing they still won't be allowed sit for the bar deserve to be poor, so let's ignore them for now.) Read this article from the Wall Street Journal. If you're not a lawyer/law student, you'll probably be happy to know that most lawyers are poorly paid, very unhappy people with a lot of regrets.
