By my math, that means far fewer people are attending T-14s, and Biglaw will probably start hiring from T-50s.

I think they're just going to settle for the job that pays reasonably well but still gives them a solid work/life balance mixed in with friendly coworkers and interesting work, in their ideal market that combines a high quality of life with a low cost of living. They just don't need biglaw to be happy I guess.

Such a shame to see people lower their expectations this way.

There's tons of them in the Midwest... You just have to wait for boomers to die, since they currently occupy the entire field and will never retire.
