One of the huge understated problem with Medical and Law is the cost of Education.
Most Law school charges ~150K (even the shitty ones) for their education.
Most medical school also go 150-250K Plus.
The reason, the law school or medical school (and the general public) ASSUME you will make 160K to a quarter million a year. So of course they charge the daily hell out of you.
Results?
The Law students can only go work for the Gold Plated "Big Law"firms which only serve Big Corp clients and rich in order to pay off her debt, the poor are left with overworked public defenders (which explain why America has one of the biggest incarceration rates).
The medical student can only go practice as specialist (Heart surgeons, Brain Surgeons) to make sure her debts are cleared out in a reasonable time period. Which means this country suffer a dearth of primary physicians and have to rely on immigrant doctors, or worse.
Of course, the Law/med school are not ENTIRELY at fault, since one of U.S Ranking for aforementioned schools has a large carteria called "Spending per student", so it is actually in the Law school/Med school's favor to charge more to raise their ranking (which make a world's difference in finding a job post grad)
So....we are screwed.
