As a law student, I don't believe that there should be a government monopoly on law regulation. Is there any reason someone should have to attend school in a certain (expensive) way for three years and get a massively broad certification to argue traffic tickets, or even most of what lawyers do?

 

 

So what are the people to do?  Is the government not working?  Is '"Big Business" really against you?

So what are the people to do? If people don't like how things are they should have the right protest the establishment and try to make changes to it.  

 

Is the government not working? I believe that there are flaws in the government and their system isn't perfect. Weather it works or not is depends on how you look at it and who you are.  

 

Is '"Big Business" really against you? Big Buisness try to helps the major of  people out there that have money to spend, if you don't like the way they run their business then maybe you should shop else where or start your own store.  All big business used to be small at one time, but they found out it they could make more money if they work in a certain way.

It doesn't matter what degree you have. If the economy doesn't pick up soon than it's useless.

I think most law students WILL actually crawl out from underneath it. Supposing the economy doesn't collapse, there is a provision in that student loan you sign that helps these people out. I can't remember what it is, nor can I be bothered to look at my own to find the clause, but basically it says that if you can't pay the minimum amount, they will work with you and find an amount that you can pay in regards to your current income and current living expenses. I think after 20 years if you cant afford to pay much of anything back, the loan is dissolved.
We can also assume that some of these people join the Peace Corps and then go to work for the government. Bye bye Student Loan.
