Thanks for sharing an interesting post CPT Jack Durish
Since this nation has had the most attorneys, for who knows how many generations, in the world I am glad that the lawyer bubble seems to have popped. Pop goes the weasel came to mind :-)
I live in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. I believe this area still has the highest distribution of attorneys per capita in the world.
"In 2011, the number of students entering law school dropped by 7 percent, an unprecedented fall. In 2012, the drop accelerated: Enrollment of first-year law students sank another 8.6 percent. It plunged still further in 2013. According to the American Bar Association, 39,675 new law students matriculated last fall — an 11 percent decrease from 2012, to a low-water mark not seen since early in the Carter administration."

I am also a non practiced JD, I tell people to not go to law school unless you really 'burn your ships' and sell out to the process.
I thought it would benefit my software engineering work and it has made me the contract and compliance expert but 90k in expense and four years of pain was not worth it.
