US lawyers have three-figure hourly rates. cool. coo-coo-coo-coo-cool.
@lritter as do quite a lot of US software engineers (and they are earning that on salary, whereas lawyers typically charge only for billable hours)
@swiftcoder that doesn't sound right
@lritter US earnings are often pretty insane by other places standards 🤷♀️ In context though, lawyers aren’t compensated all that outlandishly (and the level of debt people take on for law school is often extreme)
@swiftcoder sounds like hidden inflation to me
@lritter you are not wrong. I had friends in US graduate school who were graduating with half a million dollars in student debt 😬
@swiftcoder @lritter are the uni costs high, because salary/pay is high in the career?
And its high in the career because education is expensive?
