In grammar, the comparative is the form of an adjective or adverb which denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing, or other entity has a property or quality greater or less in extent than that of another, and is used in this context with a subordinating conjunction, such as than, as...as, etc. . If three or more items are being compared, the corresponding superlative needs to be used instead.

Structure

The structure of a comparative in English consists normally of the positive form of the adjective or adverb, plus the suffix -er, or (in the case of polysyllabic words borrowed from foreign languages) the modifier "more" (or "less"/ "fewer") before the adjective or adverb. The form is usually completed by "than" and the noun which is being compared, e.g. "he is taller than his father is", or "the village is less picturesque than the town nearby". "Than" is used as a subordinating conjunction to introduce the second element of a comparative sentence while the first element expresses the difference ("our new house is larger than the old one"). There is less water in Saudi Arabia than there is in the United States; but however, there are fewer people in Canada than there are in California.

A. Jobs in the field of Law are drying up fast!! This is just not a good field to invest time and/or money into. This is a shrinking vocational field. Many reasons. Many people today (mistakenly) think they can do their own legal work, thanks to the Internet. Also, we simply already have way too many Legal Professionals - we have an absolute glut!! ("Legal Professionals" includes, but is not limited to: Attorneys/Lawyers, Paralegals, Legal Assistants, Legal Secretaries, Bailiffs, Court Reporters, etc, etc) Be prepared for a lot of debt. Law school is very expensive. Lawyer approx $150,000+. Even if you finish law school, you won't be able to find a job when you are done. Since this vocational field is shrinking, many new attorneys/l [cont.]

A. Teaching, acting, writing and critic. I don't see anything in anthropology and diplomacy would be a bit of a push unless you do a minor in political science. If you have a second or third language, you could do a moderns degree with minors in sociology and political science and then open up all fields mentioned above..
