Obama Questioned The Value Of Legal Research

President Obama, a former law professor, is now known to joke that he was not sure how valuable the training was legal.

Summit Obama answered a question about why it was so difficult to find work, even with an MBA.

Obama responded by noting his own qualifications.

"I studied law, and therefore it was more expensive," Obama joked. "It took more time, and I do not know how much more significant than it was."

Obama was the first Black editor of the Law Review at Harvard and taught law at the University of Chicago. Post led in the Senate Square, which led to the establishment of the U.S. Senate, and the rest is history.

So I would say that legal education has been very helpful.
