Now...I know some are going to argue this, but it's clearly correct. I looked into going to law school while an undergrad, and I have several friends that are currently successful attorneys. The simple truth is most of the curriculum at law school is so mind-numbingly boring and tedious that your typical "popular" socially adept student simply can't stomach it. It's designed for your introverted book worm types. This is exactly why the rare brash, good looking, charismatic attorney is such a valuable commodity. Think about it. You rarely see a F.Lee Bailey type in real life. Those kinds of ebullient characters aren't your typical lawyer. Which is why they stand out so much, and become almost a "celebrity" of their chosen profession. Almost like a King-of-the-dipshits type of thing.
Now don't misconstrue what I'm saying. I have several attorneys that I'm friends with, not too mention that I require their services on a regular basis. They are a much needed profession in not only the business world, but society as a whole.
FYI- I also have a full theory on doctors, which is indisputably accurate as well...but we'll save that for another thread.

My uncle is a lawyer. He is the shy quiet type but he can read fast as hell and remember every single detail he read. Which is perfect for Law School bc its mostly just reading and being able to think critically in a quick manner.
However he lacks the brash , charismatic ,confidence , good looking, and agressive qualities of say the dude who presented OJ Simpson or the attorney that represented that chick in florida who was accused of killing her baby.
Opie i would be curious to hear your theory on Doctors and perhaps Jet salesmen
