In re: The legal 'profession' & the state of the economy.

One indication of how badly the economy is doing is the trend among children of prosperous but not super rich people who are not lawyers on one hand & the EMI paying classes on the other to become #lawyers .

This is happening because of lack of entrepreneurial & job opportunities.

So there is a feeling among such people that there could be sustained career opportunities in law 

Remember: Getting into law schools and getting a law degree is not too difficult unless one is way below average IQ or concentration wise.
It is not too expensive either unless one goes to a Jindal like private law school.

However what these people do not realise is that AI and #automation will greatly reduce the need for newer lawyers within the next decade.
What will such lawyers do then?
