Law school is a pyramid scheme (and always has been, similar to Ph.D.'s) that is crashing (due to the con aspect of the system drawing too much blood from the mark) because demand is cratering because a small bit of transparency has been added to the process.

It's kind of hard to compare being larded up with $150,000+ in non-dischargable debt for a chance at a $30,000 a year (sometimes less) job with anything else.

Architecture school, maybe.

I mean, the entire thing is mind-boggling and I've been watching it for years.
