Bad for me, good for Mat?
From The National Jurist:

A British Epidemiology researcher says law students are 30 percent more likely to die young than most other graduate students.

The study, reported in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, followed 9,887 men who had health checkups while studying at Glasgow University between 1948 and 1968. The researchers concluded that people who had studied law had a 30 percent higher risk of death in the 40 years following graduation than students in other faculties.

Medical students were found to live longer than most other graduate students, despite the fact that they smoked more while in school than most other students—only law students smoked more. However, people who became doctors were twice as likely as other students to die from alcohol-related causes.

Only arts students had a higher risk of death than law students, and were especially likely to die from lung cancer. However, medical students were found to most likely die from accident, suicide or other violent means.

Not surprisingly, divinity students had the lowest blood pressure and were least likely to consume alcohol, but their risk of death was still 10 percent higher than medical students.
