What I found interesting is:
Hmmmm, hey douchbagg, how about just suggesting charging an "exit fee" of $20K at the end of the third year? The baseless sense of self-importance in this profession is nauseating. I quit.

I did a speaking engagement at a law school a year ago on becoming a lawyer. I proceeded to advise the auditorium that they were fucked and ought to either go into high end plaintiff’s work or transactional work, which would allow them to transition in house later and get the fuck away from the traditional firm litigator/service partner life, which is a shit existence. I then explained how they’ll be worked senseless and dumped when the partners deem their salary too high, and that unless they have business, they’ll be wage slaves forever.
Before the horrified faculty could drag me from stage, I managed to say “some folks call this a storied profession - they wind up teaching. It’s a business, and the sooner you learn that, the better you’ll do. If came into this looking to make it a life, you’re doomed.”
I was told by a faculty member outside that my candor was not appreciated. But an adjunct just stood there with tears in his eyes, giggling.
I have not, and will not, be asked back.
