I think the comparison between law and optometry is a not completely just.
While I see where you're coming from with the supply and demand issue, they are completely different fields. Optometry is a health-oriented profession. If someone cannot see clearly or have eye-related discomfort, whether they like it or not, eventually they will have to go see an optometrist/physician.
This isn't really the case with lawyers. Everyone knows lawyers are crazy expensive. So they are avoided by the general population like the plague.
PS. How funny would it be if these new law graduates are suing their alma maters so they have something to do on their free time? They literally have nothing to lose. Not like their getting paid to sit around doing nothing haha
Haha, I classify myself as part of the "general population" that would avoid lawyers like the plague. Guess I'm one little tiny part of the reason why some lawyers are out of jobs.
I've been lurking SDN for a little bit and read a few of your posts. To be completely fair, I don't think what you're saying is crap like some of the people on this forum do. I see where you are coming from. I just don't think it is as bad as you say it is. I'm not expecting to be making it rain green bills when I graduate. I am completely aware of the financial burden that comes with the ridiculously expensive tuition.
And before you call me out for being a dreamer, I live in Quebec, Canada. I have a huge advantage because when I go back to Canada, I can work in French-speaking Quebec. Also, I am Chinese. Gives me a slight advantage with the minority population. I'm confident I'll find my little niche in this profession that is becoming more and more corporation-controlled. Cheers.
..... Until then, wish me luck.
Unfortunately, all the luck in the world will not change the profession from it's course. Just remember, if you sign up for an OD, you were told what you were getting into.
