Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I did read multiple articles saying that attorney jobs are very, very scarce right now. In fact, law students have taken to suing their alma mater due to false advertising about the job prospects their chosen schools lead them to believe existed.
I would like someone to post nursing/two year medical stats---the Return On Investment I think is just nuts...the money and opportunities a two year or four year medical degree? Wow. Some posters have said, "Block, don't be negative" when I offer people to at least think about going the medical route....

It seems like a solid career, I don't understand why I am taken as being negative. Do you think nurses shudder at what the oil prices will do?!! Don't think so!!!
