It has only been the third day of the working week and I've already clocked 50 hours, so you're not alone. This is the dog life.

We think that they're trolling because some of the comments and questions here are so immature and uninformed that it's hard to believe the posters are really lawyers, trainees or even law students.

Take for instance the poster above who asked whether he can be a "CEO in a conglomerate" with a law degree. Obviously anybody can be a CEO if he has the relevant competence, gumption and experience, even someone with no degree.

See it's dumb questions like that that make us wonder if people here are really trolling or serious. Surely the next generation of law grads can't be that hopeless right.

I think you are the troll for accusing others. He asked that question because he appears to be a law student hopeful.

He is just trying to consider if it is feasible to study law.
