Not forgetting that the legal industry in relatively tardy when it comes to digital transformation and many other advancement. That means lawyers can stick to their old dog skills and no need much upgrade. PS: The founder of my previous law firm doesn't even know how to use Whatsapp and needs his staff to type for him - he's in his 60s btw. And my current partner has even templated her strategy, argument for liti used for the past 10 years

In legal --> old is gold
In many other industries, old is mold. You try to seek a job in your 50s and 99.99% chance you will have doors slammed in your face. You are old, useless, intractable and probably slow.

So yes, while the pay is low, the trajectory is longer than others. Graduates nowadays just wanna easy way out and think that money grows on trees.
This type better set up old folks home la.

When digitalisation getting more and more prevalent, he will be forced to use his whatsap. Anyway he is in his 60s, considered semi retire liao. Such tech to him is not impt. So he can hire senior citizens into his firm and make it an old folks law firm. Old is gold ma. See whether his clients will choose a young and dynamic and fast thinking solicitor or an old rusty out dated lawyer.

His clients are recycled one ? Those old usual clients ?
