Hahaa..
That's so true.., I genuinely feel sorry for all the people specializing in criminal law.., because more than half of them will not be practicing criminal law.., they will instead.., find that all the jobs they were aiming for are already filled up.., and they will then have to practice "loser law":
- Small-time contracts
- Accidents & Injury
- General legal services
Not that there's no money to be made in that.., but that's not what they went into law school having set as their personal goal.., they'll never be able to bill for $800 an hour.., they'll never have to work on one case for entire months.., but that's ok because they're being more than heavily compensated for it..
In a way.., it's good.., there will start to be more and more people who think like you.., and consider the saturation of a specific labor market "before" choosing to pursue it.., and eventually.., the market will return back to normal..
