Valid job: carpentry
Invalid job: law professor

A carpenter builds shelter. That is value, easy.
A law professor? Lmao, when have lawyers ever provided value to society? A law professor is one step up on the pyramid scheme because not only do you provide no value but you create more no value providers.
Lawyers engage in the fetishization of rule and order - not what actually enforces rule and order. Any case could easily be solved by appointing a temporary third party judge.
In early societies legal matters were decided through consensus, and no consensus would ever allow the blatant disregard for rule and order that the rich engage in.
Lawyers accept cash bribes to argue semantics in order to allow rich people to ignore laws. Why even bother having laws anymore? Should just cut out the middle man and let the rich hire private militias to hunt the poor since that's all lawyers are good for.

The good ones who fight for environmental protection and so on are just confused souls who were under the mistaken impression that the system could do good.

Yep, get rid of lawyers. Replace them with community councils.
Can't replace carpenters though unless you want to live in a mud hut.
