Agreed. But there really is a world out there. Law suffers from late adopter tax, just like all other industries with finite clients.

If you were the founder of an insurance company before anyone had a policy, you'd be swimming in your own pool and anything else is demeaning. Now? All the insurance agents going door to door or cold calling. "Oh sorry, I already have a policy."

All big and institutional clients already have good lawyers they trust, either on retainer or otherwise an established working relationship. In fact they'll go to the US and MC EPs first. You want to make EP anywhere? Bring them in.

I really pity the next generations of law students thinking they're in this for the money and they'll make EP. That their grades count for something and they'll earn millions. Maybe 1 person to 5 people out of that batch will make EP after 15 to 20 years in this new generation. The rest are doomed to be JPs and SAs for life.

This is a different generation. Law school is a lie. Legal drama is a lie despite what mass media tells kids. This is not Suits where you even can afford to wear Tom Ford while being your own person. Not in this generation.

So stop being dumb grunts. You backstab and put each other down only to realise 8-10 years in that you were always and will always be a loser because you failed to realise that law is no longer a good industry to be in.
