What I’ve been reading of late…

Big firms cut back on law school recruiting. Yada, yada, yada.  Some examples from the article seemed to be 50%-60% cuts in summer associate positions and on-campus fall interviews. Well, you’re at the right place, Solo in Chicago.

Was it worth it? With debt of up to $250k, some law grads are dubious. Some? I don’t think it’s only a DEBT issue. This is my story which I bet is common. I decided to attend law school without giving that decision nearly enough thought…it was sort of an after-thought to generally boost my career prospects and to temporarily avoid permanent career decisions. I had no specific goal to work at a big firm or necessarily to work directly as a lawyer in private practice at all. Now I’m out and not particularly enamored with the “practice of law,” thinking of things to do that I would enjoy more, and I’m got this $40,000 weight around my neck.
