I don’t see why you have such a low opinion of bartenders? It’s good money.
No lawyer in a partnership-track position bartends. That's completely ridiculous. In a large NYC firm, the starting salary is $180,000 per year, and requires working late nights and weekends; in reputable firms elsewhere, the salaries are still good and the jobs require erratic hours. Nobody--nobody--who is an associate in those types of firms bartends. They'd be too tired, and they don't need the money.

You’re talking 2% of lawyers. You clearly know nothing of the field.

But what if partnership at a firm is not what you aspire to ?

I work in Oil and Gas so typically a lot of conservative mindsets, well educated, hard working.....I'd say most voted for Trump, but a lot dont like him. It was the lesser of 2 evils in my world. He is def not presidential.

But:

The US is involved in fewer foreign engagements
The Economy is booming
Unemployment is down
He is challenging the status quo on foreign trade and policy
You are no less free than under Obama, could be argued more free

Big picture he is not doing a bad job.

OP clearly thinks he knows more than anybody on here. You could prove him right but he would argue he was wrong and vice versa. He is approaching troll territory here.

Cortez can be dumb as a brick and do fine as a leftist in congress. There is a liberal congressman in Georgia who questioned a Navy admiral about the heavy Navy presence in the US territory of Guam and the possibility that overpopulation of that island could tip it over. Seriously a US congressman thinks an island can tip over. He was re-elected of course so it did not hurt him. I wish I could remember his name. This Cortez woman is safe, the voter will tolerate unlimited amounts of stupidity.

AOC is still in campaign mode. I'm not completely impressed but she hasn't been on the job a month yet. She might get better and I'm willing to cut her some slack. She is not a moron.
Trump hasn't gotten any better in two years and seems to be getting worse. He is a moron.

You will not have the option of voting for Trump is 2020.
