[quote=Anonymous]A PP. Found this on the site I linked above.

I work in an F500 corporation which is also a bit feudal.  But law has always been even more stratified.  From observation of my Gen-X peers' lives it seems limiting.  I have a good friend who went to Harvard Law and because she moved to a metro area that's smaller and she's stuck there due to a divorce, she really can't find jobs that pay Harvard level money.

"As discussed at the end of this article, the modern day legal profession shares many similarities with the eighteenth century Western European class system defined by the three major classes of gentry, middle class and peasantry. While it is possible to move among these classes, it is very difficult and often nearly impossible to move “up” as opposed to “down” within this system. Part of what we must do as recruiters is be mindful of the parameters within which the system works (and thus within which we must operate), while also maintaining creative and optimistic minds that can see and capitalize on those rare situations where upward movement is possible."
