DICK:
The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.
CADE:
Nay, that I mean to do.
Is not this a lamentable thing, that of the skin of an innocent lamb should be made parchment?
That parchment, being scribbled o'er, should undo a man?
Some say the bee stings: but I say, 'tis the bee's wax;
For I did but seal once to a thing, and I was never mine own man since.

Wow 41% overall passage rate. Either AL's bar exam is really tough, or there were a lot of moron test takers over there.

If we would break out the number of hours that most lawyers work with their annual salary, I'll bet that we'd find that more than half of them don't have a very impressive hourly wage.
I've always been very careful to avoid this trap.

How diverse was the universe of persons who passed the bar? Underrepresented minorities? Members of the LGBT community? Women? Disabled?

If you're anything like this guy, you're hired.

Could you please elaborate? Why is it a trap?

Most people don't understand that passage. They wanted to kill the lawyers so they could get away with what they wanted to do.

No, I fricked your mother in the arse and then put it on the internet. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that a dozen other lovers beat me to it!

What's up with the ~50% "AL-course deficient" baw?

RA that man, Chapagne talks big shite but when he gets his nose rubbed in it he cries like a bitch to the mods.

The trap is getting stuck at a firm billing 2000+ hrs a year (which means you are working more than that or padding hours), and then working harder for bonuses (which are often discretionary) and even harder these days to make partner.
And then many firms' partnerships are nonequity for many years and you aren't working any less. And you are often a guarantor on the lease and have other financial exposure.
Unless you just really enjoy practicing law and don't have much of a life outside of it, this is all very Sisyphean.
I left the firm after a few years of dubious training and now bill a very very small fraction of the hours I did there. I work 100% from wherever I want. I'm poor but I value time, family, experiences, and not being around lawyers and staff much more than I do money.
