Figure out a New Profession

Remember three years ago? The economy was great. 2,100 year old melons were falling from the sky. Most of the world still hadn't been introduced to Tila Tequila. Lost still sort of made sense. And you strutted into that first law school class ready to conquer the world.

Well, the economy crashed. Oops. With most of us not having jobs, and 1 out 10 NY law students failing the NY Bar, maybe it's time to consider taking that mountain of debt (oh, PS, that happened during those three years too - just because you never read the loan statements doesn't mean they didn't exist) and find a new career.

Some of my recommendations:

Kitten Wrangler

Dangerous herds of kittens probably roam the streets of your city at night. Why not round them up and sell them strangers for a few bucks?

Work for Apple in China

Yes, they may have a few Debbie Downers working there right now. But you'd probably get a 5% discount on that new iPhone. And $300 a month is more than you'd get after unemployment runs out.

Deodorant Tester

With hippies now running the Federal government, testing products on animals isn't "politically correct." Companies are always looking for people to try out their new deodorants.

Shooting Range Aiming Consultant

Yet another solid job option that awaits you in China. If you have decent hand eye coordination and great bladder control, this job's for you. At least if you have a bad day, you won't be pissed that long.




This list isn't exhaustive. Be creative. But if all else fails, you could just sue yourself for going to law school in the first place.
