Re: How to know we have to many lawyers

This:

http://boston.cbslocal.com/2012/06/04/open-job-at-boston-law-firm-pays-just-10000-per-year/


Short story: A lawfirm is offering $10,000 a year starting wage for new attorneys. For full time new attorneys.

A typical first year security guard in Oregon earns about $20,000 a year btw. Just sayin...




Tbh I was kinda shocked, but... well... free market in action.

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

dime a dozen, they can take their pick, work them like dogs and if any survive, kick them out and hire more newbies

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Re: How to know we have to many lawyers

Remember, that's in Boston.  Massachusetts is like... #3 state/district in the US on the ratio of lawyers to non-lawyers, behind New York and DC.  No, I'm not saying that means there isn't an oversupply of lawyers now.  However, the situation in Boston is not a good representation of the US as a whole.  Although I would agree that nearly all states have an oversupply of lawyers, the intensity of the oversupply in Boston is much greater than in most of the US.

Re: How to know we have to many lawyers

You just started a thread in which you encouraged a far more litigious society.

Why are you so happy about this?
