The demand for law graduates is much larger than the number of legal jobs available. Many people go to law school intending to enter business, government, or the non-profit world rather than practice law. There have always been more law graduates than law jobs, just as there have always been more math graduates than math jobs. Degrees are versatile and valuable outside of the profession of law."<br /><br />-----<br /><br />Very good trolling if that's what it is.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-22554030676135962402012-09-26T14:57:58.999-07:002012-09-26T14:57:58.999-07:00Upslope? sureUpslope? sureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-28036451986613441182012-09-26T14:39:32.196-07:002012-09-26T14:39:32.196-07:00As someone who has served in the military, I can s...As someone who has served in the military, I can say without a doubt that there are so many recruits who show up absolutely unfit for duty simply because of fatness.
