Peak Law School Admissions?
By Annie Lowery reports that the market may finally be responding to the overproduction of law degrees. Obviously, there’s nothing unusual about the overproduction of a graduate degree; law school is just a little unusual because it still holds a certain reprutation for practicality that exceeds reality.
I was interested that when my sister decided to pursue a library career that in Canada the number of universities that can offer the MLS is limited roughly based on the number of jobs that are expected to be available; I believe only 5 universities in the entire country (UBC, Alberta, Western Ontario, McGill, Dalhousie — am I missing one?) have MLS programs. This isn’t a policy perscription for the U.S. — it’s probably only workable in country where higher education is almost exclusively public — but it’s an interesting contrast.
