What is a JD good for besides being an attorney?

<p>@TigerCC2014: I don’t quote the whole post because it’s available by scrolling up a bit. No need to waste the space when all I want is a reference for people to find what I’m replying to.</p>

<p>The rest of your answer didn’t make any sense either. You talked about a cousin and an uncle. The cousin is irrelevant because it’s an individual blip in the data. Statistically meaningless. Your uncle is irrelevant because he graduated 22 years ago. Grads today aren’t graduating into the 22-years-ago market. </p>

<p>You may not agree that people cannot find jobs, but your agreement is not relevant to the reality of the market. There are 40,000 law graduates per year. There are 20,000 law jobs per year. Simple arithmetic tells you precisely how many can’t find jobs. That includes those spending 200k on a law degree.</p>
