Dear Editor,
Isn’t there a surfeit of lawyers in our little Guyana? Shouldn’t we be focusing more on professions that will fast track our country’s socio-economic development?
Recent reports on perceived difficulties with accessing legal education and training to become lawyers might suggest, incorrectly, that there is a high demand for professionals in the legal field as opposed to say the engineering or agriculture fields. My personal impression is that there are far too many lawyers in our society so much so that many are under-utilized or worse yet tempted to take on cases irrespective of their merit.
On the other hand I believe that our society’s real development can benefit tremendously from an increase of professionals in such fields like engineering, mining, agriculture, aquaculture, animal husbandry, human resource management and similar disciplines.
I hasten to add that these thoughts are not based on any formal research on Guyana’s current and projected occupational needs and I am therefore prepared to accept that my impressions might be unfounded; if any such data are available, it may be worth publishing same; if not we should start gathering relevant statistics in the hope that career counseling and expenditure on professional development can be more in line with demand for and supply of appropriate skills and competencies.
