Why is it made easier to become a lawyer than a doctor?

In 40 states, new CPAs must now have completed 50 credit hours of higher education (the equivalent of four years of college, plus an extra year):
The 150-Hour Requirement

I always forget about this. I guess it’s since 150 is still (relatively) recent in NY and that’s where my CPA and the accountants for any place I’ve worked has sourced work to, but you’re right, I’m wrong about that one.</p>

<p>It’s not impossible to do it in 4 years. And this is not equivalent of 4 years of one totally unrelated degree and 3 years of graduate school, so you’re either drawing inaccurate parallels or pointing out a solitary, relatively minuscule mistake I made to serve a purpose that I cannot comprehend.</p>

As I noted previously, there are seven states where it’s still possible to qualify for the bar exam by studying under the supervision of a lawyer in a law office. One reason that fewer than 100 members of the California Bar have availed themselves of this route is that it’s very labor intensive for the supervising attorney. If the supervising attorney contributed 500 otherwise billable hours to the task of educating an aspiring lawyer one-on-one, and customarily charged a fairly modest $250 per hour, the opportunity cost would equal $125,000.

Other than this being a moderately interesting aside, I don’t see what this has to do with the debate on whether or not law should be an undergraduate field of study.</p>
