Lawyer bashing seems to be a national pasttime. Yet I run across numerous people who are very proud that their son or daughter is going to law school. Hmmmmm.

So I did a little impromptu poll last night at my wife's restaurant and found that most peoples' attitudes are that a person who becomes a lawyer (or doctor for that matter) stands a good chance to be successful. As in wealthy. And that's what they want for their children.

Struck me as a sad commentary on our skewed values. Not a single person said people want their kids to join the legal or medical professions so they could help others in need. Not even as a secondary motive.
