[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current fed in the probationary period, so I'm making back up plans a through z. I'm currently a litigator.  What are some career changes you might recommend? I don't have any strong preferences other than avoiding weird hours so I can see my family.  I just need a job to pay my mortgage.  Our monthly spend is about 10-12k, so a yearly requirement of 150k.  My wife fortunately works, but I'd like to target something around 80k and up.

Currently contemplating:

Get a MSW and be a therapist
Get a MS Ed. and teach in DCPS
Become a cop
Nursing degree[/quote]

This makes no sense ^^^

Who is going to pay for the time and money for the MSW, MSed, police academy, and nursing school??

And the entry level/standard paycheck that youll (eventually) earn doesn't really justify the means especially if you're looking to quickly obtain your current $150k salary, have kids, AND are bleeding $12k a MONTH??[/quote]

We have money saved, and my wife works. I need a job, and if I'm getting laid off, so are a bunch of other lawyers. I can't count on getting a legal job, so I'm making back up plans.

Any better ideas?[/quote]

Law firms (and local county and state law positions) are a dime a dozen. You seriously can't get another job in the legal field??

No idea. But I have a mortgage, so I'm making contingency plans. [/quote]
