<p>lysdexic- You are only partially right that so called “trade schools” dont create graduates who can advance the academic interests of their fields. A Masters degree (I’ll lump JD in as well) in general is a professional degree, not one that leads to trailblazing academic research and field advancement. That’s what PhD’s are for. And yes, you can get a PhD in law or business just like anything else.</p>
<p>To call any sort of graduate education or educated profession a scam is arrogant. Have you been to law school or business school or any sort of graduate school? No. Have you had a real 9-5 job and a career in any field? No. Have you even graduated from college yourself? No. I wish whatever beam of wisdom that hit you at the ripe age of your late teens/early 20’s couldve hit me at that age so I wouldn’t have to learn from my mistakes and life experience.</p>
