There are things that people with a law degree can do outside of practicing as a lawyer too. We've been hiring primarily people with law backgrounds in the HIPAA Privacy area and most Privacy Officers I've met during my audits of our vendors have law degrees. The last one was even from Columbia.
Before my ex was laid off, he noted that a lot of jobs that used to go to MBAs were going to people with law degrees instead.
Hypo is considering a law degree eventually but her end goal would have more to do with working in environmental law or politics in some way because she's such a little activist! One of the young women she met at Barnard's Young Women's Leadership Institute was the daughter of a woman who is an ACLU attorney. She was very excited about that!
