the law school version of this trap is one of the bleakest, as it's actually very good. for the most part, we know the salary necessary to recoup the cost of an MFA is a long shot, but our culture drills into us from childhood the very wrong notion all lawyers are rich.https://twitter.com/tomgara/status/1422562008403218440 …

Yeah it’s definitely coded as the “be upper middle class without doing math” option. I actually wonder what the most genuinely reliable option for that is today?

Lots of enterprise sales jobs where you can get by without much math and be very well paid. That's definitely a different personality/cultural type though
-
true, but sales weighs to a completely different personality, and those jobs existed concurrently with law throughout the twentieth century. they're not a replacement.

Right, but which non-STEM degree program / professional certification / career path has the highest % of people earning 6 figures by their 30s? It might still be law TBH? Maybe consulting?
-
probably anything non-engineering at a tech company, for example marketing or HR. definitely ops. but jobs like this also existed throughout the twentieth century, so they aren't much of a replacement, and there aren't nearly enough of them to bridge the gap.
