Sometimes I regret having dropped out of law school, even if it was only a second tier public at a state commuter school. I'm not in any better position than most of these people (unemployed, destitute, unhappy, indebted), but at least when (or if?) the economy improves they'll have the benefit of a professional degree. I, and my useless liberal arts education, will still be searching for any type of remuneration which pays more than $10 an hour and doesn't involve me asking if the customer would like fries with their order.
