<p>I was traveling on business this week, and met another lawyer in the airport. I was mentioning that DS (mid-range student in a top regional law school like U-Miami) was going to be graduating but the job market was terrible. (DS would be thrilled to find an entry level legal job at $50K-$60K.) She then told me that her D had graduated from Harvard Law last year. Her D was employed with a financial firm, but said that some of her classmates had not yet found jobs! Either they were not offered jobs, or their offers were rescinded due to the economy. Her D told her that the classmates were pursuing further graduate degrees since they didn’t get job offers.</p>
<p>Please, believe the posters about the job market. Legal jobs are very hard to find. Good legal jobs are even scarcer.</p>
