This is very true. Don't trust what blatant lies school deans, professors or ministry mouthpiece tell you about law opening doors to any industry. Let's be honest, anybody with a decent IQ and good command of English can do anything a lawyer does and we there is nothing special about being a lawyer apart from holding that license.

Law firms know that the bulk of their trade don't require actual lawyers holding a PC, that's why junior lawyers and fresh graduates are shunned from the job market:
1. Experienced paralegals can do the same fee-generating work at half the pay
2. Foreign experienced lawyers from Malaysia and Philippines can do the same work as an "executive" or "consultant" at NQ salary
3. Ministries and stat board rarely hire junior lawyers
4. International firms rarely hire junior lawyers
5. Free/cheap labour from interns and trainees
6. Consulting firms can do transnational and regulatory work without needing lawyers
