NP. I'm underemployed. I have a job that requires bar admittance, but I should have a much better, more challenging, higher paying position given my credentials (T3 law school with honors, federal clerkship, law journal, firm and govt. experience, etc.) Does that make sense? So I'm not unemployed, but I'm underemployed. My former position required a lot of travel, so I "mommy-tracked" myself into this position when I had kids. I really need to move on, though, before I find that I can't.
Ah, okay. That's how I feel about my gov't position.
Quoted PP here. DCUM often refers to my job as $hitlaw.

DH was. Found a niche and moved up in it. No longer underemployed. Don't be a generalist.

This is a fairly easy business to start. Begin networking at local chamber of commerce events and your product will sell.

maybe a compliance department at a big company? your law degree would come in handy but you wouldn't actually be practicing law.
