I've got nothing on the rest, but from what I've seen the degree value is a real issue. I remember a lot of my sister's colleagues graduating without a single job offer, although I'm not sure if her school is Tier 1 (is that the top ten?). She was offered one before she graduated, but she had to wait a few months to start and couldn't even take a job in the meantime since she was too overeducated.

That was a few years ago now, but I doubt it's gotten better.

Tier 1 is the top 50 schools (usually as ranked by the US News & World Report). Even those that graduate from Tier 1 are having lots of problems getting employment though. I tell people now that unless they go to one of the top *ten* schools, they shouldn't bother.

Degree value is only the issue because of the overabundance in lawyers. When times were good, the economy could support a lot of lawyers - the money was there, whether or not the work was really needed. But the recession exposed that the legal market was a bubble, and it most definitely and painfully burst. Adding to the problem is that the law schools KNOW this and HAVE KNOWN this for years and years - before there was a recession - and continue to push law school as the way to a large paycheck. Law school enrollment and law school openings are at an all-time high. They continue pushing the lie as long as it makes the school money. It's aggravating at best for those of us who have been through that circus.
