At least fields like consulting, law actually produce usable actionable products. Even though you think consulting is fluff, fact is CEOs are willing to pay millions for consultant's advice. And if you kenna some regulatory trouble, lawyers are there to cover your a** and extract u from trouble. Even insurance brokers have value cos they play middle man role in matching corporates with the necessary insurance policies.

Audit is simply a useless service shoved down everyone's throat.
