A more thorough explanation:

A wobbler is a type of crime that can be classified as either a felony or a misdemeanor, depending on the severity of the offense and the discretion of the court. This means that the punishment for a wobbler can range from imprisonment in county jail to a term in state prison, as well as fines.

The court's decision to classify a crime as a felony or misdemeanor is based on various factors, such as the nature and circumstances of the offense, the defendant's attitude towards the offense, and the general objectives of sentencing. The court has broad discretion in making this decision.

Overall, wobblers are a unique class of crimes that require careful consideration by the court to ensure that the punishment fits the severity of the offense.

@llama I find that article sort of contradictory. If every starts lateral-hiring there would quickly be a wide gap in available talent that needs correcting which would lead to surges in entry-level hiring, especially by the time we graduate

@SailingSomewhere: 10 ppl move up a ladder rung/ 10 players lateraling musical chairs, sore there are more moves, but does that mean there are more realistic openings? Asking because I see your point but at the same time, moving jobs is part of the new culture, I think the avg person will have 4? careers, and statistically the best way to employee max is to move every 2-5 years. I am unsure as I have never worked as an attorney, nor do I have direct knowledge or connections that could confirm or deny besides for saying ymmv/ each takes a dif path.
