Hi,
In "You can do worse than become a lawyer" (a more common alternative is "You could do worse than"), what does the "can" mean?
Some people say it is used to indicate possibility, but there are different types of possibility. What kind of possibility does the "can" indicate?
I'd appreciate your help.
