More on the rationale of this blog

I do not deny the existence of genuine "JD Advantage" jobs.  However, (i) they are far outnumbered by the "JD Disadvantaged" jobs listed here and (ii) it is rarely, if ever, worth the time and monetary cost of law school to land a "JD Advantage" job since, by definition, that job can be procured by somebody without a JD.  Some more on this topic:

-- JD Employed writes about the "JD Disagree Disadvantage".

Some other links from JDU which reflect the prevailing "JD Advantage" propaganda that gave inspiration to this blog:

Most notably the rather whimsical proposition that,

"It turns out that the JD degree prepares you for a variety of exciting jobs and careers. While many law school graduates go on to practice law, many others go on to play leadership roles in a variety of settings. Many law school graduates obtain positions for which Bar Passage, or even a JD, is not required, but their legal training is deemed to be an advantage or even necessary in the workplace. As the saying goes 'you can do almost anything with a law degree!'"
