Too Many Lawyers?

It’s amazing why so many young men and women decide to become lawyers when the ever-increasing number makes it more and more difficult for them to get decent jobs in the field.

To add to this puzzle is the fact that the cost of the education is high, compared to other fields available to those who choose law. Not because of passion, but for the option of it’s being easier than science or mathematics. The bar exam is arduous but compared to other professions, law is the far simpler choice.

Remember, prior to World War II, lawyers for the most part were able to take a bar exam without college study. You learned the profession by working for a law firm. Abe Lincoln never went to law school. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® Comments.)
