@suzywelch: Law used to be the most linear career there was. Go to law school, do the grunt work as a first-year, climb the ladder. But AI is taking over those first-year tasks, and the hard truth is that the conveyor belt is broken. This week, Becoming You Labs’ own chief labor economist Sania Khan joined me to talk about the jobs you might want to think twice about right now. Some of them surprised me and will definitely surprise you too. #futureofwork #lawschool #economist

Being a lawyer is a deeply honorable profession and I would strongly encourage young people to pursue a career in the law

Too many people very much overestimate the impact AI is having on the legal field. Roughly 10% of my revenue as an attorney is reviewing and redlining contracts drafted by AI. It’s terrible at drafting court documents and the quality varies a lot for contracts. It helps me with research. That’s the main area where it’s effective in my experience.

I graduated 2010 when employment was at an all time low… but I made it a point during school to focus on healthcare regulatory law. I graduated with a job and have been employed ever since. I was not at the top of my class but I carved a niche for myself! Every job I have had I have been recruited and make just over 500k in-house with no nights or weekends!

AI cannot do the job of a lawyer even the basic parts! This is extremely unethical! We just used AI for legal research and it made up a case to support the reasoning. AI in law is a myth of a myth

Nah. Do it. I finished at 50 during the pandemic. Best thing I ever did. Don’t let anyone else dissuade you.

If you want to be a lawyer, go to law school. It was the best thing I ever did. Don’t listen to this. AI gives us more work - it doesn’t take it away

Let the schools and firms tell you no. Don’t tell yourself no. Go for it.

I'm a 2L at a prestigious school. she's right to a point when it comes to big law but our job board is full of ppl who want spring externs and summer paid interns and even people who are hiring for 2028. if its in your heart go to law school.

We will always need law jobs. Even if on a lower paying end, you’ll always find a legal job

This people make me laugh. Lawyering at its core has little to do with practice. It’s about relationships.

I’m a tax lawyer and it’s been a wonderful career. You don’t have to go into big law. I started in public accounting and now I work for a corporation. I love solving problems and helping people. I’d still recommend the profession.

There’s many areas of law that AI cannot over take 😂 unless you’re just reviewing or drafting contracts

Been practicing for 18 years and I had to also learn that our service is largely a luxury: people and companies need to be able to afford the retainer and hourly rate. And in questionable economies, law practices definitely suffer a bit.

This is horrible advice. AI can increase efficiency but the lawyer still provides strategy, even for first year associates.

I’m in Am100 law and there is SO much work and demand for new lawyers. But you have got to be a very hard worker. Now AI is involved and you are competing with it as a young lawyer. But once you are experienced you’re good.
