	The reason there are more lawyers than physicists is that society needs 
more lawyers than they do physicists.

	Lawyers managing physicists? How'd that happen. What kind of job do the 
physicists have?

	BTW, over here law school is graduate school, and you need to have some 
degree prior to entering law school. It's fairly competitive (although I 
won't try to equate it to physics in any way). And while they perhaps do 
party (don't really know), law school is fairly demanding here.
