The salary data set for the above has no predictive value and does not guarantee
the type of job or salary an "average" law graduate receives.
Job offers and salaries offered vary from year to year and are dependent
on many factors such as law school academic performance, the strength
of the economy, employers' hiring criteria, and the competitiveness of the legal
