A Bunch of Young Lawyers are Suing Their Law Schools Because They Don't Have Jobs

[Schöneboom]

I had to laugh when I saw that article today -- I work at a law firm (records clerk). GR hit it on the head, we have a lawyer glut in this country. In fact a lot of firms routinely hire "contract attorneys", which is just a fancy way to say "temp". Well, if those disgruntled students win their lawsuit, that can be the first thing on their resumes!

Regarding professional schools, they're mostly rackets. I used to temp for a big-time culinary academy that had a huge sales, I mean, admissions dept. These guys in the cubicle farm worked on commission, pitching on the phone all day, painting rosy pictures of limitless opportunities to the poor saps who would go deep into debt to become... cooks. Sorry, I meant "chefs".

Screenwriting, Art College, same deal... People need to wise up about what skills are really needed. They might not be glamorous, but neither is being in debt up to your eyeballs.
