    The thing I hate about lawyers is that their loyalty depends on the amount of money you give them. They show little to no personal moral integrity.

      Not loyalty. Work ethic. The more you pay, the more they work on your case. That is with any job sir. No one works for free.

      @@Lucelife exactly, the more money, the less integrity. The lawyer of the mother who kidnapped my daughter basically legalised parental abduction. What the effect are of such a legal precedent are none of his concern. What the long term effects are of children being separated from a parent... Why should he care? He himself found that particular verdict fantastic on his website. Moral integrity - zero.

      Not always. I’ve never worked on a case solely based on money. If the client needs my services I do whatever it takes to make sure that they are taken care of.

    Life IS all about luck, but the thing is, you have to be READY when the luck comes (if it comes), because if you are not ready when the luck comes, it passes you right by. Yang self deprecates, and he might be onto something regarding getting admitted to law school, but I don't care how smart you are, you cannot fake your way through law school. At the very base level it shows you had enough ethic to put in the work and get it done. Or in AY's case it allowed an opportunity to show even more.

    The educated dumb is a problem in the US as essentially as long as you can afford college and put in a min. Effort you can get a college degree.
    The reason that it has become a problem is that those people now think that they are really smart there For the decisions that they make are insightful. I can't remember where I heard this from and I an not sure if it is completely true but it is something that I have experienced in my personal life. Where educated people fall more easily for scams as long as those scams use some information that they hold to be true.
