I disagree. Law has significant barriers to entry and even after getting through qualification, your base credentials won't offer much mobility in terms of being able to move around to practice.

There aren't, to my knowledge, 12 week bootcamps for law out of which you can start practising in the field.

There aren't, to my knowledge, law schools popping up daily in India offering people courses with relatively low entry requirements, from which they can move to the US and start practising as a lawyer.

There aren't, to my knowledge, D&I proponents installed into law companies who spend their time fighting against the idea of hiring bars and requirements for the positions within the company. There aren't internal advocates saying to drop the requirement for a law degree for a legal job in the name of boosting diversity visibility.

The same can't be said about the overwhelming majority of tech jobs, but then tech workers have done literally nothing in the name of collectively protecting their profession so it's at least partially their own fault.
