20-Year Prospect
Even if nuclear fire rains down on the world, we're pretty sure corporate lawyers will survive. Cockroaches always do.
Okay, so maybe your brand of evil is necessary to the functioning of the companies that so many of us buy products from. For example, because you potentially concealed evidence about the faulty ignition switches in 2.6 million cars, General Motors isn't in deep poop.
Oh, wait, GM is in deep poop. Let's try this again.
Because you did a superficial job of investigating the obviously questionable goings-on surrounding its accounting practices, Enron didn't get into deep poop.
Oh, wait, Enron did get into deep poop. In fact, the poop was so deep that Enron doesn't exist anymore.
Okay, so you don't always manage to cover up the foibles and mistakes made by your ethically-challenged clients. The thing is, there will always be an ethically-challenged client around desperate to hire you...which is why your career will still exist in the future.
