> There are more law graduates than jobs. But starting salaries haven't gone down.

Perhaps this isn't true? It's possible that salaries for lawyers are not going down, but that salaries for law graduates are going down (because not all law grads become lawyers).

Also, I thought salaries outside the major firms have cratered? (Or maybe were never all that high to begin with but law school has become crazy expensive and the lower ranked schools are churning out more and more people? IDK.)

My local bartender has a JD and passed the bar. He bartends because it pays better.
