I know you were just trying to get in some cheap laughs by putting other people down, but being a lawyer has made my life much more fascinating. It's hard to imagine another profession that has as good a balance between intellectual depth (law is very much a technical skill) and intellectual breadth (a natural result of having to become conversant in whatever domain forms the context of the current dispute). Because of my job, I've learned so much about fields as diverse as Vitamin D testing and DNA identification to Sikh religious apparel to Hellfire missile post-launch abort procedures. So, I mean, you are of course entitled to laugh at the cliché of lawyers being boring suits. But the simple reality is that it's a deeply enriching field.
