It's a little random, but I read today that law school applications are at an all time high.

When times were good, it didn't make financial sense (on average) to go to law school unless it was a top 20/25 school. Now, it's more like top 10/15. The rest of the people applying are not doing themselves a favor. There are no lawyer jobs waiting for bad lawyers.
It's the same story for people getting an MBA. It used to be that a top 20 MBA was good enough to at least interview for a decent gig at a big bank or PE firm. Now, it's closer to top 5. And applications are through the roof almost everywhere.
Basically, unless you're going to one of those elite schools, grad school isn't the answer.
End of rant.

I wish I found calculus easy. Right now all it does is make me cry. I think people need to learn math young for deeper understanding. I'll be 40 in a week, and trying to learn all this is really stressful.</threadjack>
In a threat to big law firms, lawyers in India are carrying out the due diligence work for an upcoming corporate acquisition financed by the major UK bank. We all knew this day was coming and the book The World is Flat predicted it: legal services are being sent offshore just like telephone call services and being performed by cheap foreign labor.
