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.

I think what the other post means was that the person, if willing to stay in the legal industry, should and can have a longer career path than those in other industries.
So for those who aren't lawyers through attrition, we have to see if (s)he willingly gives up law for other jobs. He or she, if willing to stay in law, can go to other smaller firms or start a law firm in chinatown. Fortis Law founder said that many of his solo practitioners friend in Chinatown earn 15k-20k per month (but still need to do networking, ads and linkedin marketing to get clients). But hey, all these for 15k - 20k. You dont wanna do ads, network and still expect 15k/month salary? aiyoooo

Surely being paid 10 cents on the dollar, while being worked equally hard, will affect one’s mindset in staying in the industry.

Delisted schools flooding the market so they could afford to underpay the people who actually studied law
