[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone reading this board who is considering going to law school, especially outside to top 25 or so, you have been warned.

Sorry OP -- try to get some doc review to pay the bills and look for jobs outside the legal profession.  Compliance sounds like a good possibility. [/quote]

KEep hustling.  It may take a while.  Don't give up.  YOu WILL find something.  Once you do, kick ass at it, network like hell, and think about a medium-term career plan based on where you are starting.  Start to focus in on particular field, preferably something that is growing, and make yourself an expert on it.  CHances are, you won't ever end up in biglaw, but as someone a decade out of law school who has been down that road, you will be better off.  THere are MANY ways to have a successful law career, but when you're just out of school it's hard to imagine all of the paths you can take.  But you will find one, and you will be fine.

You don't need to move to Asia.[/quote]
