''Anyone can study then contribute to our society without any financial benefit through free software concept. At the same time I have a doubt if it can is it assure a job? " | |||
Do you think every lawyer gets paid the same fees? Even though every lawyer studies the same law. No. | |||
Also, why do people go to a lawyer if they can study the law themselves and argue their own cases in court?

So instead they depend on other people who are professionals and fairly compensate them for their skill, time and effort. | |||
