Law school bar pass rates and first year associate salaries are not what they used to be. According to http://money.cnn.com/2014/07/15/pf/jobs/lawyer-salaries/ http://money.cnn.com/2014/07/15/pf/jobs/lawyer-salaries/ , the median salary for a first year associate is $62k. Add to the mix that law schools inflate their employment stats by including people whose jobs have nothing to do with the law, and what you get is students suing their law schools for fraud (e.g. http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/08/pf/college/lawsuit-thomas-jefferson-school-of-law/ http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/08/pf/college/lawsuit-thomas-je...)
- rayiner 11y agoA JD is still a big step up for the sorts of people who get them. Humanities majors as a group don't hit much more than $60k mid-career, and more than half of fresh college graduates are unemployed or working a job that doesn't require a college degree.
- nyolfen 11y agooh noo, 50% increase on the median annual income. whatever will they do.
