[quote=Anonymous][quote]It's also sad that this country does in fact need more lawyers, especially in legal services and for poor people. But coming out of law school with $200K in debt means that the new lawyers can't afford to work for non-profits, legal services, or low incomes with all that debt to service, and those jobs are few and far between anyway so the competition is intense.[/quote] Yeah, I think in addition to the debt the problem is that even lawyer jobs that don't pay a lot of money are few and far between. I had a full scholarship to a top 20 law school, and graduated in the top 1/4 of my class, but I was still unable to get an ADA or public defender job in any major metropolitan area (including areas like Indianapolis and Cleveland, where my siblings live, but are not considered desirable by many). There were just very few jobs available, and intense competition for the few that were.[/quote]
