So are you going to tell me if your career is in law?
I have a mortgage. That's a mature thing, right?
A. Have you truly been that inattentive? How many years have you been a patron of this board? Every other single person who has been here for more than a few months has known that. That is as basic as knowing you went to some school with a mediocre engineering program.
B. Not necessarily...it is just a debt thing. How do I know? From 40 years of practicing law and dealing with entire cadres of people who were immature yet still had mortgages.

A1. Never saw it mentioned. And I think 8 years now? Something like that.
Makes a lot of sense though. Engineers/STEM majors are trained to solve problems. You're trained to argue, but not actually fix anything (my biggest issue with politicians). Also why u hear we don't get picked to be jurors a lot.
A2. Lol... Mediocre
B. I was mostly just joking.

You clearly have no fucking clue. You might solve math problems, but when it comes to most real world problems.....human problems......there is usually a lawyer involved that either provides the solution, or negotiates the solution. Name any kind of problem you think may exist...and who do people often call to help resolve it?
A2. Lol... Mediocre
Well...Maybe they are ranked pretty high. But in every bag of gold there are a few pieces of pyrite. Voila!
B. I was mostly just joking.
But, in your joking you did hit on something.

Electricians.

Or gunsmiths.??
Well...about 63% of all gun deaths are self inflicted suicides, and another 20% are where the gun owner is either killed by his own guy by a family member...or he/she kills another member of their own household. So, OK, I can see where in a great number of instances a gunsmiths contribution can be a "Final Solution" to a person's problems.

Hahaha yeah
When I think of a lawyer I definitely think of something out there "solving problems"

No it was 100% a guess. I'd never heard of the term until you said it. I just used context clues....
Or, maybe it was in the back of your mind somewhere, and when it was mentioned here it slipped to the front of your mind.
Nevertheless....as noted, it was pretty much exclusively and Akron thing because, aren't you originally from like a Cleveland area suburb? And you say you have never heard of it. So, it was not a Cleveland thing, or Columbus or elsewhere. (however, I do think that someone....here or elsewhere, like on Facebook, said they were from Toledo and that the term was used there some).

We used the term devils strip here in Stark County(Canton/Massillon) as well!

Yes....that is exactly what lawyers do. Or attempt to do.
Though what you probably think is that lawyers also create problems for others. Even that is not exactly true. It is the Lawyers' clients that create the problems for others. The lawyers are only the implements by which these clients seek redress or remedy of the problem they bring to the lawyers.
When you obtain more life experience, you will understand this.
I don't know what kind of engineering you may do, but I assume that you consider yourself a professional. Would you expect to see any Joe Blow off the street to perform the professional tasks that you perform in your occupation? I don't think so.
And would you want your fellow civil/electrical/mechanical/whatever engineer handling your divorce for you? Or to defend you from criminal allegations, or professional malpractice allegations? I don't think so.

What’s the difference between a good lawyer and a bad lawyer?

Good lawyers are bad persons and bad lawyers are good persons.

Nope, see above, all perspective.

Damn it, I expected more fireworks. Well played.

The job of a lawyer is to argue for their client. Even if their client isn't correct. They're trained to argue. Doesn't matter for what.
They aren't solving problems.
Again, that's the bigger issue with politicians IMO

Well that shows that you have about as much of a clue of what lawyers do as the person who says that the job of all engineers is to drive a train.
We are trained to advocate, but trust me, we know what we are advocating for. And also trust me that the problems that exist that lawyers deal with DO get solved, be it that they are settled or decided, they ARE solved. I do not have a single file in my 40 years that did not result in a resolution. And yet, even that is a small portion of what lawyers do. There is far, far more counseling, advising and negotiating that goes on than "arguing".

Resolution isn't solution
Advocating isn't problem solving
