Good on you, love.
You're having a good time, innit?
I was like, I've gone wrong here.
And actually the people around me that were doing well without the bank of mum and dad,
were the lawyers.
Because actually, if you track, we're doing this on our team, we're tracking different professions and what wages have kept pace with house prices and education costs and healthcare and childcare.
And it's lawyers.
It's not bankers, it's not engineers, and it's definitely not doctors.
It's lawyers.
Even in the US, where doctors are certainly paid more than the UK.
So lawyers are, you know, the demons of capitalism, always the bankers, right?
We always bash the bankers.
Those lawyers get away with it because they are getting paid very, very well, particularly obviously the ones in the big law firms.
But they have their wages of outpaced house prices in the UK and the US.
And that is something I don't think is talked about enough.
So I think, actually, go back to the law plan, because I think that was a good idea.
Am I staying there?
an expert no no no tell her that she should have experience in a law firm by the time she's trying to go to a law firm that is a problem which is impossible but that's the careful is the things that worked when we were in in building our profession yeah right
not working now.
So law actually is uniquely exposed, particularly younger lawyers are exposed to AI.
