Law School Scam? 200,000 in Student Debt, Replaced by Job-Killing Robot / Sputnik International

Law school, the default location for America's brightest unemployed Liberal Arts graduates and the worst decision a 20-something can make in the modern era just became an even worse bargain, if that's possible. We're not talking about a surge in LSAT applicants, beginning in 2008, that led to the creation of InfiLaw Corporation scam-law-schools like Charlotte, Florida Coastal, or Arizona Summit, the latter of which boasts an average bar passage rate of below 31% and an average cost of attendance exceeding 250,000. We are not even speaking about a profession that requires the completion of at least seven years of college,followed by an expensive test and an invasive background check, just for the benefit of staring down the barrel of a 15.5 percent unemployment rate and roughly 200,000 in non-dischargeable student debt. One might even guess that we're talking about how recent studies show that over 40% of law school students suffer from clinical depression, with those unhappy figures only becoming worse as graduates enter a profession with a suicide rate nearly ten times above the national norm. Instead, we are talking about the latest and greatest idea among the old-timers; those old ones who have already won the legal profession lottery, allowing them to seize an upper-middle class lifestyle after matriculating from law schools referred to as'third-tier toilets,' or attending bastions of prestigious opportunity, like Harvard and Yale.
