I speak from a little bit of experience as I once dated a paralegal. The job sucked. Zero opportunity for advancement. 100% soul-crushing busywork. It’s also in major danger of being automated away.

When I go out to restaurants I see plenty of male and not-young bartenders and servers.

And let’s not forget that this is a comparison of a job that requires high school education versus a job that requires extra training on top of that.
