[quote=Anonymous]I'm a lawyer. Even if you go to an excellent law school, I think it would be hard to do what you want to do. Even 20 years ago when the law market was good, there really weren't many jobs helping individuals with consumer protection issues. The fact is, it really isn't cost effective for an individual to pay a private sector lawyer even $200/hour for help. You can't do much in 10 hours, and few people who have these types of issues have an extra $2K sitting around to fight something. As someone said, one option is class action work, but that at best is an interesting intellectual exercise and you're not going to help anyone individually. The other options would be with legal aid or other non-profits, but then you're looking at salaries in the 40K range unless/until you reach director or supervisor level.[/quote]
