Mind you I am a bar admitted lawyer who has kept up with all of my continuing legal education requirements.

If things do get worse and you are good at litigation, hustle PI cases. Not fender bender cases between two average income people, but actual cases against really wealthy people who care about their reputations and do not want things to go public. Maybe do some reviews on the side and invest in gold. Start an online business. Resellers make crazy money now. I haven't looked at my 401k or Roth IRA accounts in forever. People are miserable though after looking at their savings. Maybe things will get better in a few months. I am not sure the end game with tariffs and I am certainly no economist nor do I expect many manufacturing jobs will come back to the USA, but maybe Europeans will start driving American cars more? It's too soon to say if this will end up negatively or positively. Free trade isn't all positive. Traditionally, nations all over the globe have imposed tariffs on US-made products. For example, the EU applied a 10% tariff on US car imports, while the US just charged 2.5%. Maybe these countries will eventually come to the bargaining table. The power of America should not be underestimated. I also think of all the American companies that moved abroad also exploited cheap labor and avoided environmental regulations that exist in the USA. Anyway, there is lots of panic now and no straight answers online about the pros and cons of the tariffs.

Let me put it this way: if you were not a lawyer, what would you want to do? Sat, 05 Apr 2025 08:51:36 -0700 whiteguyinchina from private IP Reply #13002391 Market wise I would be best suited to reshoring American factories or maybe running them. I haven't really worked as a lawyer for like a decade. Do you recommend law as a field? Serious question Sat, 05 Apr 2025 10:07:16 -0700 phosita from private IP Reply #15014430 The oligarch class will be in fine shape. Work for an oligarch. Family office stuff, aviation, maritime. That kind of thing.
