Law school is three to four years and the resulting degree is a juris doctor or, in Europe, an LLB. To quote the Bureau of Labor Statistics, "Law school graduates receive the degree of juris doctor (J.D.), a first professional degree." I'm sure the juris doctor degree is not quite the same caliber as a medical doctor degree. Masters degrees, however, vary in how long it takes to complete them (and the amount of coursework required), ranging from one to six years (though typically two).

Yes, teachers often have to pass an examination for licensure (particularly for public schools) but they can do it with only a bachelor's degree, though here in New York State over the last decade or so the state has mandated that current teachers obtain their masters (and, yes, they were given a certain amount of time in which to do it). As for college professors, you can get your foot in the door with a master's but if you want to advance in that career expect to get your doctorate.
And, as I said earlier, I'd agree that lawyers rate right down there with politicians, used car salesmen and televangelists. |
