Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

Good on you, love.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

You're having a good time, innit?

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

I was like, I've gone wrong here.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

And actually the people around me that were doing well without the bank of mum and dad,

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

were the lawyers.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

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.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

And it's lawyers.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

It's not bankers, it's not engineers, and it's definitely not doctors.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

It's lawyers.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

Even in the US, where doctors are certainly paid more than the UK.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

So lawyers are, you know, the demons of capitalism, always the bankers, right?

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

We always bash the bankers.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

Those lawyers get away with it because they are getting paid very, very well, particularly obviously the ones in the big law firms.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

But they have their wages of outpaced house prices in the UK and the US.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

And that is something I don't think is talked about enough.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

So I think, actually, go back to the law plan, because I think that was a good idea.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

Am I staying there?

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

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

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

not working now.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

So law actually is uniquely exposed, particularly younger lawyers are exposed to AI.
