Amen to that, my friend graduated a year ago and is working as someone's lawyer aide making only 30k a year. Unless you got a relative in the field, you won't find a job |

there just aren't enough jobs to go around. which i suppose is true with a lot of fields right now, but it's especially true for lawyers. it's really really rough out there. tell your friend to hang in there though, at least he/she has their foot in the door, that's the first step... |

| True, it's that way with most careers right now. Almost everyone I know who has gotten a decent job in the last year or two has gotten it through connections. It's certainly not limited to law. |

no. do not go to law school. there are not enough jobs and the field is already watered down with hundreds of certified schools that should not be certified
i mean, you can still do it but you will graduate with $100k in debt and be working at starbucks if you can find one with an opening

didnt read your link, but right on the money. i recall reading an article a few years ago that the average lawyer income was super low (due to many "lawyers" not handling cases etc, thus earnings are minimal)
for every internationally known headlining lawyer like Johnny cochran billing $500 an hour, youve got 19 local lawyers who couldnt open the door for johnny making $0. i heard midcard lawyers do ok though. |

Why did he settle for being a lawyer when he could be the JUDGE! Sorry, couldn't resist :D
Seriously, how cool would that be to have a world-famous headliner DJ as your lawyer? |

| It depends on how good of a school you come from. I know a girl who graduated from NYU (~ top 5 last I heard) and went into patent law making >200k right away. Now, if you're trying to get a low-mid tier law degree you'll be in a lot more trouble when you graduate... |
