"Every time a friend of mine tells me that her daughter or son is contemplating law school I try to dissuade them. This isn't the 60's - when a law degree was a ticket to the good life. The profession is a brutally difficult way to earn a living for either gender. And it ain't getting better.
Now it seems I have some support for my comments. Peter Kalis, chairman of large, international firm K & L Gates, was interviewd by the Wall Street Journal and said much the same thing. Kalis says that schools are "pouring tens of thousands of young people into a market that I suspect is not going to be able to absorb them at the remuneration levels that would have justified them taking on. . ."

I would like to read more...but they make you register. I hate this form of news where I am forced to pay to read something that I should be able to read for free online. I mean, I shouldn't have to have a subscription just to read an article...

In any case, the comment is a fair one, and is one that more young aspiring law students should think about. Or, as the writer indicates, a thought that more parents of aspiring law students should think about.

    Please beware, there are many fake bitcoin mining/clouding out there. I have been a victim once, but now I am a certified blockchain consultant, and I know better. The whole plan was so smooth that I could not doubt it. Bitcoin is actually a great investment option, but one thing I discovered over time is that it is not possible to mine Bitcoin, so don’t be deceived. I invested $45000 on a particular website called Eureka Mining Block. I monitored the profit yielding but was told to open a new blockchain account to receive my payout. A public wallet was imported into the account, and I was made to believe that it was my profit. The bitcoin was labeled non-spendable, and it took me 2 years to be able to access it without the knowledge of the company. The non-spendable bitcoin is the scam out there now, and a lot of people are falling victim to it. I found Boleyn Magic Hackers online, which helped me recover my investment, together with the profit, without the knowledge of the company. You can reach out to them via (support@boleynonline.com)if you need help; they are geniuses. Good luck!
