This is actually a big falsehood. While there are big money lawyer jobs out there, most lawyer jobs are a very middle class career (and for entry/early positions, perhaps lower half of middle class). However, because law schools are cash cows since they rarely provide scholarships and don't require expensive lab facilities, universities are strongly incentivized financially to have a law school and accept as many paying suckers students as possible. This results in a massive glut of people with law degrees that far outstrip the amount of quality law jobs.
Basically, unless you go to a higher tier law school and graduate with a good class rank and get some law experience during the summers, there's a good chance your very expensive law degree with be worth a lot less than you think.
Cuckson went to a lower tier law school (I forget which, maybe some private religious college?). Also, he went directly back into academia after he finished law school (probably because mommy was still willing to pay and he's allergic to the real world) and got another undergrad degree (dafuq?) instead of getting a clerkship or internship at a firm that you could resume build from. Also, he's such an astute lawyer that he had to ask Twitter how you'd perform a name change in Cali when his fat slug "wife" wanted to piss off her parents with a nameswap. After failing to find employment for an inordinately long time, Mommy called deceased Dad's executive buds at Disney and got him a Legal Coffee Getter position at Daddy's former employer.
Honestly, it's a miracle he ever had a reasonable job at Fender. Good thing he pissed that away to take care of not-his-kid while Basic Becky sat around stealing oxygen.
