[quote=Anonymous]+1 it's not always about the money. It sounds like you want to work for the stimulation, enjoyment etc.  Go for it!

Also, while you can't practice here - it doesn't mean that the only door open is entry level. You may want to take some time to research options like NGOs, international relations and even research/cold call law firms or legal recruiters to informational interview to see if there is a way to translate your skill set. I bet in an international city like DC there is probably a career consultant or recruiter/placement firm that helps people with advanced degrees from other countries find meaningful work.

If more education is what you want, there is a paralegal certificate program at Georgetown.  Ok, not big firm attorney potential -- but it's a way to get your foot in the door at a law firm then figure out if you want to do law school/take bar in US.

Best of luck!  My DH and I wrestled with this as well -- but opposite. I was looking at a job in another country but he is an attorney here. We couldn't figure out what he would do other than being a SAHD.[/quote]
