Uhh, that is what law is, the school has it classified as Business Law and Personal Law, even though it covers criminal laws, actually a good read..
@ m0g: More, more, more!

Isn't there some statistic in the U.S. that stats there's like 3+ lawyers for every person? I heard something like that. That's the main reason I don't want to have many professions, the job market is over-populated. However, people will always need doctors.
Jobs that will be over-popuated within the next generation: lawyers, engineers, and many small businesses.

In the UK, the current job in vogue is the plumber! A national shortage means they are earning well in excess of £40k ($75,000) a year.

That's plain ridiculous. $75,000/year?  Still, I wouldn't want to be a plumber.

Good money for a plumber! That's over the roof. I still think a good graphic/web designer can make a good living.

that's quite a good living you've got yourself there. But, frankly, i wouldn't want to be a pluber either. I want to do something that i enjoy doing and have a passion for.
But who knows, maybe i'll develope a passion for plumbing :P

Plumbing can be quite interesting, how to understand pressures, and specific uses.. it is actually a very technical skill to develop and be good at.

@ Alex - Making a good salary in the webdesign business is pretty hard. Nowadays there's so much competition, it's very difficult to get your name out there. I wouldn't do it for a living but it does make some good side money.

ya. there is so much competition, it's really not funny. Frankly (sorry s2f), if i was intrested in making my big commercial site for my brand-new-bursting-with-growth buisness, i'd go to someone very professional, well known, and with a very nice portfolio. And there happens to be many of that sort of people.

I'd go to anyone that could get the job done without any flaws. Some of the lesser known people charge less for designs unlike some the larger sites that charge ridiculous amounts for small tasks.
Even still, I've had several people requesting a web layout / complete design from me. Either way, people go with the designs they like.

Not really what they like per se, it is more who can deliver the work that is on time, on budget, and is listed in their specific needs.. all about availability of the skills that are needed.
