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.

When it's been a year and you haven't found a job, then you can whine. It's the economy, everyone has to get jobs they don't want to right now. grow up.

Ah, to major in astrophysics...go to grad school, stay in the safe cocoon of academia, get post-doc/professorship position, and sit back and watch the world crumble...

YDI for going to law school. There's about 300% too many lawyers as it is.

This is the kind of situation that I love to hear about when all my guidance counselors give me shit about college. I go to a trade school for manufacturing and already have a job as an aerospace machinist even though I'm just a senior in high school. Vocational education isn't exactly for stupid kids anymore. :P

More often than not, when it comes to post-secondary and beyond education, it's all about who you know, not what you have. I couldn't find work at all after I got my BSc and ended up in a call centre. Once there, however, I made the right connections, was promoted within two months, promoted again six months later, and have been transitioning ever since. I may not be working in my field, but I'm salaried, learning more about different things and expanding my duties every day, have security, and best of all, have made connections and gained knowledge which will benefit me whether I remain with the company or not. Best advice I can give is to take the job to pay the bills, but try your best to get contacts from places you would like to work at some point concurrently. It can make all the difference in the world.

Government employees = WIN too. I've got the same paycheck as I used to have, but everything is cheaper now. More money in the bank for me. Unless the bank collapses, of course.

YDI if you went to a law school lower than Tier 2. F your life if you went to a school worth going to.

exactly. the economy shit everyone's spewing really doesn't matter unless the OP went somewhere good.

YDI because you must suck so badly, I really don't think that any capable person with a degree would consider working at walmart, also, I doubt that someone could finish law school and be such a stupid moron at the same time

My english teacher spent 2 years looking for a job after graduating from law school, that's nothing. So he became a teacher
