Then, if you have a law degree, it takes ~3 years, and you have to work for ~2 years to pass the bar. And then you do the "residency" for some time--say ~2 years. Then you work for 5-10 years to become a partner or a leading attorney... But your skills would never "dry up"...

I don't necessarily know about the working for 2 years to pass the bar. You can take the bar immediately upon graduating from law school; there are several GC lawyers here who have taken several bars and have only been out of school a year or two. There's no "residency" or internship period like there is in medicine, either.
