"I'd Teach a Course, On How I Got to be a Star Crossed Pimp."

In other job unemployment related news: Today I met with the Career Services Counselor from my law school. I feel kinda better and kinda worse. Basically her message was:

  1. You probably won't get a job until you have passed the bar.
  2. Most 3Ls graduate without jobs.
  3. Of the graduates from last year who are "employed" a lot of them are working as law clerks.
  4. I am not the only one who wants to fly into a blind rage when people are optimistic.
  5. Since I live at home I should "volunteer"-this assumes that I don't have other bills.
  6. I can do "anything" with my law degree-but she was no better at giving me any more specifics than my mom is.
  7. Watching daytime television gets depressing after a period of time.
A lot what was discussed plays into other posts I have planned such as "The Saddest Day of My Life", "The Second Saddest Day of My Life" and "Phrases That Make Me Want to Throw Things"; but I'll get into all that and so much more at a later date.

It's fantastic that you can do anything with a law degree... really it is... but what about the handful of us who came to law school cause we want to be (i know this is gonna sound crazy) lawyers?

I think we can all agree law school does not prepare you to be a lawyer. I'm not sure what it prepares you for, but it's not law.
