Today, I filled out an application at WalMart after being unable to find a job in three months. I just graduated from law school. With honors. FML

That really sucks. Damn the economy! I hope you find something better soon.

Yes, how DARE the OP expect a fair return on her investment in law school.

Maybe you are not happy about it, but a job is a job and you will get paid for that. It's not that you will work there for the rest of your life (or maybe you will). While you are working you can search for another job at a BIG FIRM. Who asked you to apply at WalMart anyway? You did! So stop complaining.

I hear ya, I got my bachelors a few months ago and I recently filled out an application for the state fair (Oh yeah, I didn't get the job).FML

u ******* ass brain. who gives a shit. at least you have a ******* job. quit complaining.

That's good. The last thing the world needs is more lawyers (or more WalMarts!)

Google your name and see what shows up. A lot of companies are using twitter and facebook to screen applicants. Pictures and stories about you (or someone with your name) can keep you from being hired.

Congratulations on graduating. Sorry you can't find a job - try volunteering your legal services to a nonprofit or charity in the mean time ... you 'll get experience and it may open doors to a paid position... and it ll help others out.

I finished up my master's degree in January and I'm in the same boat. I've applied everywhere. No one wants to hire an MA for a crappy job though. Management doesn't want underlings who are smarter than they are. Bad for their job security. FYL for sure.

Ditto for me. I spent nearly $16,000 for grad school only to be rejected from every job I apply to because I'm overqualified. *sigh*.

Any work is noble. Times are tough. This will pass. Take the job and keep looking. Good luck!

Another graduate who thinks the world owes them a living just because they worked hard and got an education. And once you do get a job as a lawyer, you'll be upset because you're doing crappy tasks the higher ups don't want to dirty their hands with. Life's tough, get used to it.

I have a degree, several years of experience in administration... and I got rejected from KFC for being 'overqualified'.
