A/C repair vs. #lawschool: 3. It can't be done by computers or robots (yet). 4. You don't have to go $200K into debt.
@ouij @beerquests - Fair enough. But if this is an issue of "prestige," I think misguided pursuit of it has caused many problems.

@DavidLat my great-granddad was an illiterate bricklayer. His daughter? a schoolteacher. Her son? World Bank staff. His son? JD.... -
@ouij - Being on World Bank staff is GREAT. I have a lawyer friend who is DYING to work there. Interesting work & great benefits. -
@DavidLat tough to break in. Bank changed a lot b/w when my dad joined and when I went to college. -
@ouij - True. My friend got a Biglaw job and a federal clerkship easily. World Bank job, he's still trying....

@DavidLat if that's your family, do you want to be the son who steps back? -
@ouij - But is it "back"? What if you're a small business owner (like an AC repair company owner)? Then you hire (and fire) lawyers. -
@DavidLat try telling that to the fam back in the Philippines.#emigrantproblems -
@ouij - So true. Back in the Philippines, I'm still introduced as "lawyer" (not "journalist," and definitely not "blogger"). -
@DavidLat Everybody thinks you're "abogado de campanilla." so tough to say otherwise.

@beerquests@ouij - True. I think for the median#lawschool grad, though, going into a skilled trade is worth considering.
