The legal profession basically consists of:

• legal education- wildly profitable, built off student loan debt, etc- left wing as fuck and 99 percent useless. You could shoot nearly all the law professors and close about 95 percent of the schools and nothing of value would be lost.
• biglaw, biggov- the highly paid guys who work for all the big corporations- generally left wing because it's fashionable and when you're in the cool kids club you do the fashionable things. Biglaw clients are always trying to save a buck so it's very easy to find yourself at the wrong end of a restructuring because some asshole wrote a program that automates 50 state surveys or discovery searches or something.
• shitlaw- the guys who represent ordinary people- not much money here unless you're one of the lucky few who do good in PI or hit it rich in some obscure field as it's taking off. Like for example, you're a guy who does criminal defense already and then you realize there's some government program that lets you make bank defending average no-money defendants or you're already doing patent litigation or M&A and suddenly the level of works picks up in a huge way. If you aren't already established at least somewhat you'll be like the last vulture who shows up to a picked clean carcass.
• the inactives- 99 percent of the profession- the sad fucks who went to law school and washed out or never got hired anywhere. Also the sad fucks who got hired somewhere and then washed out because the industry is a meat grinder with about 1 bit of paying work for every 1000 people with a bar license.
