65. Law degree/smaw degree! Waste Management is hiring garbagemen!

That's one of those jobs which can't be outsourced, ya know! Also one of those jobs where you can't keep doing it after your body starts aging, let alone from age 65 to age 67.

More seriously, at a recent CLE class, I heard that 1/3 of new law graduates are working as "contract lawyers", i.e, for $15 an hour, with no benefits. Passing a state bar exam/being licensed is a job requirement, since their work is being billed by their employers at $200 or more per hour.
