XO has relentlessly laughed at lawyercuck wages for years. This is not some hilarious new revelation or timely comeuppance.

What's funnier is the endless resentment and happiness at lawyers being 'pwned' with some transient internet commentary. Julia is a prime example of this. Without having any real insight into the industry or earning potential or lifestyle other than deliberately goofy internet renditions, a bunch of XO addicts love to celebrate the ultimate hopelessness and earning underperformance of lawyers. This shit is one of the few topics that XO has organically developed over the years so it's LOL when people get pumped up by repeating the firm established notion that law is actually kind of a shitty profession.

Of course, as many have pointed out, good luck finding another field where middling intelligence 25 year olds who would otherwise be working as accountants or teachers can earn real money with a three-year joke of a grad degree. I also sense that people resent that lawyers enjoy stupid lay prestige, but again, XO has always blasted lawyers for this ridiculous reality.

Law sucks. It's all true. Also pays decently if you can maek it and most of the people who make out merely 'OK' in law would have been worse off had they followed up with the other natural career paths readily available to them at a young age.

I am not denigrating XO's decade-old assertion that participating in a nice, easy profession in the best of flyover country can generate a great life. I am saying that the schadenfreude and self-loathing surrounding law on this board is not news and that most lawyers who are not complete retards end up doing fairly well financially. Even shitlawyers.

People like TSINAH are inevitably angst-fueled weirdos with poor social skills and an outsized opinion of their work. Even so, an enterprising shitlawyer can make very good money with decent lifestyle. An established shitlawyer can pull down $10K net without any serious effort. I'm talking about 30 hour weeks once they have a good referral network and local bar presence. Or look at biglaw flameouts like Earl. He would admit he works quite a bit but he's be a multimillionaire in ten. years and actually enjoying some security and affluence in a major city. LMFAO at 'coders' and engineers getting to that level without relentless hustle and risk tolerance.

Law is awful and its a racket, but the eagerness of non-lawyers and unsuccessful or malcontent lawyers to shit on the industry as a brutal dead-end is the result of the forum, not the source material. LOL, braindead county judges make $150K in many jurisdictions and are treated like royalty in their communities. If you have half a brain and target that position, it's not terribly hard to achieve. I know a listless 50 year old lawyer who has bounced around all over the place. He currently makes around $200K as an 'of counsel' doing mid-level divorce shit that requires very little investment or effort on his part. Not bright, charismatic, talented, or makes an effort apply himself. He is just competent and has been around his area for 25 years. Anybody who assumes they will get rich in law is dumb to begin with. Regular people can earn far to the right on the their curve of potential in law and that's why it continues to attract people and cause those who dodged it to gloat when they hear that law sucks.

And please don't insist that anyone working a corporate job will get to the same spot if they just manage not to die. That has been debunked here over and over. Corporate wage fraudlies keep people just enough on the hook to stick around but very few are getting 'rich' by XO standards.
