How about become a politician as suggested by OP? Good pay and absolute power if it tickles your fancy.

Not everyone is good at selling or that creative to make it big as either though.

Be prepared to accept most jobs are getting competitive and you are easily replaceable. Just accept being mediocre and stop lying to yourself and accept your place.

Being a politician is not easily replaceable, nor is it that competitive (think piss poor opposition). A regular Chinatown liti lawyer could be able to navigate the local political scene easily and make it a profitable venture. Much better than going to be some financial adviser.

Well maybe not now but the newbie lawyers 5- 10 years from now should be very worried. The lawyers in the industry now are pretty safe for the most part.

With how penny pinching the Big 4s are I imagine they would be more than happy to stop having new associates if it means A/I can replace them. Let natural attrition do its job and they don't even have to go ahead and retrench people.

Whatever can happen in 5-10 years time will also affect other industries.
So I’ll not be too worried. Most industries will suffer similar problems with the rise of AI, autonomous vehicles, and intelligent automation.

What I’m more worried is with the current juniors - those with anything from 0pqe to 7pqe.
Unless you’re a BD king which most 0-7pqe are not, what we are doing are “production worker” kind of job. We turn the files, get the file moving, etc. those are really at risk of being automated.
So what should you do? I guess be very prudent and save if you’re able to earn your $3.5-7k salary now. Save every penny. Be as prudent as possible.
If indeed as the OP said there will be structural unemployment, at least you would have enough savings.

6 months into its incorporation, Clarence Lun is still posting job ads on Lawsocietycareers stating that his firm wants to "be listed on legal 500 and chambers and partners in the first year of incorporation". Anyone knows how's progress on that? Has Fervent submitted its application ?
