Lawyers (or at least a certain elite subset of them) have apparently learned to play the same game. Even after the collapse of the so-called law-school bubble, America’s lawyers are No. 1 in international salary rankings and earn more than twice as much, on average, as their wig-toting British colleagues. The University of Chicago law professor Todd Henderson, writing for Forbes in 2016, offered a blunt assessment: “The American Bar Association operates a state-approved cartel.”

The title of the thread makes no sense, the article hardly has anything to do with student debt

I read this the other day. As OP noted, the editors were good about being precise in their terms when specifying who the members are of this caste as they define it. They do a good job of calling out the bourgeoisie for its hypocrisy. They also flatter their readers by implying that they themselves are members of this Elite Class of amazing, Meritorious persons, even though most of their readers are probably liberal artists who cannot get ahold of $500 in the event of an emergency.

"One study found that a commute of 45 minutes or longer by one spouse increased the chance of divorce by 40 percent."
