We have a glut of lawyers already. Many people who have a law degree currently don't practices because there are more people who want to be lawyers then positions. Doctors we won't have a problem with because supply of doctors could drop significantly and medical schools would still be full. Most accountants I know like accounting, and would not quite their job in order to make 10k to sit on their butt. I also think your view of being a minimum wage worker is very idealized one. Having worked many minimum wage jobs in college I can tell you I would require a significant raise to work any of them again. Being constantly screamed and cursed at by middle managers, standing for 8 hours straight without a break, not knowing what your schedule looks like in a week, working until midnight, occasionally working 12 hour shifts. No thank you. I would much rather write software, do accounting, or be a doctor. People don't work shitty jobs because it's easy they work shitty jobs because they didn't hired for a better one.
