Hard work has nothing to do with the fact that the market is bifurcated between haves and have nots. 30 years ago a law degree was relatively affordable and you could make it work by hustling. Now, you are toast if you don't get the big law job because your payments on $200k will be $2k/month. That will wipe out your ability to start a practice and you are effectively doomed. Big law jobs only go to something like 5% of lawyers. (correct me if I am wrong). The other 95% would be better off doing any other job.
