<p>Obviously, the article lacks real research behind it, but it makes a good point about the dangers of seeking a job merely because it has a good traditional reputation. Students (and their parents) may invest a lot in preparing their children to be attorneys or physicians only to find it’s not for them, too expensive, too stressful (or the dreaded inability to get into prof school or get licensed/pass the bar). The same story can also apply for architecture. I have met quite a few people, esp. in pre-law/pre-medicine, who are too blinded by the dream of big bucks (which are not so big, taking into account the cost of professional school AND the fact that attorney/physician salaries haven’t been keeping up with inflation) and respect to make a sober and realistic evaluation of their career choices.</p>
