I wasn't able to do the one page critique on this article, so I just wanted to leave a comment about it! I think it is interesting the job fields that are open in employment opportunities, such as speech therapists or physical therapy, whereas there is less than one opening for every 100 attorneys. That just makes me wonder if this phenomenon is because of a trend that there are a lot of degrees in law right now and not enough employment spots to fill it. Maybe when people got degrees in the past they didn't see physical therapy as much of a solid job as being a lawyer. Since physical therapy wasn't very popular in the past, now, as a result, not a lot of people have degrees in it and cannot work in the field. Recently, I've seen a lot of articles recently about schools expanding their physical therapy programs as it is getting popular, but that makes me wonder if a lot of people will go into physical therapy now as part of the trend and growth of the field, and then in the future, there will be a disproportional excess of therapists. I wonder if this employment trend has upward and downward cycles.
