All I want for Christmas is a new job. This is funny, many people think those of us who have law degrees has it made. That the world has open its doors because we have this extra degree. Unfortunately, that is as far from the truth as possible. Yes, there will be those stellar few - that it is true for them, but for the rest of us normal folks....Well...life is not so pretty. After consulting with my friends, we all agreed, the doors were shut in our face as soon as we entered law school - we could not even obtain the job we had before law school, with just our college degree. We are now stuck in this transient stage - where, we are supposedly over "qualified," for all these jobs, but not good enough for the law jobs we really want. And as a result - we either become unemployed!
Truth be told, I have never had so many rejections as I have had after entering law school. yes, I do admit, I didn't go to a top tier law school, I was not top of my class, I was not on law review...Basically I was not anything that anyone cared about! So here, I am... using tax payer's dollars to pay my bills...
To make the story short, law school may not be all it promised to be! (or maybe, this is all it promised to be - but I just missed the fine prints).
