the fields of medicine, engineering, computer sciences and finance/business are considered so popular and necessary in the families of ex patriots.
law and economics get to be secondary options career wise and less preferred unless students can have their way with their parents.
now a days a trend is to pursue B.A. degrees in political sci and international relations is becoming popular with students taking interest in law for their post- bachelors.
education, fine arts and performing arts are not considered viable enough to sustain a decent living standard.
one reason for law being popular is to have own agencies because it will ensure representation and just like anyone else, law practice will benefit people who may not avail legal service other wise.
