Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1. I'm not talking about corproate, litigation pays literally nothing, (where 95% of the workforce is)
2. Even in corporate, the legal professionals earn way less than their counterparts in tech, finance or consulting.
3. The amount of time and money invested on law (5-6 years) gives virtually no returns if the same is done in any other industry. Again exceptions are there but they are equally rare.
4. Recent recrutiment in law firms and in -house reflectes how narrow the hiring mindset of recruiters are in the industry. Less than 18 colleges account for more than 95% of all jobs in the country.
5. Arrogance, Nepotism and ignorance is the central theme of this industry, where connections is paramount than merit and skill.
Do you thing having so many fundamental vices, the legal industry has chances of survival in the future?
