@spayurpets: I’m fine with another thread if you’d like. Since OP would almost certainly be one of the wrong half of graduating law students, I think she deserves the data in this thread. That said, this forum isn’t so active that she couldn’t find another thread if we made one.
It’s also hard to see why you’d think people with a law degree are more employable than people with BAs. (Do you have data about this?) Unless they’re looking for legal jobs, it sounds like classic overqualification. Why would an employer risk a JD, who will run off as soon as they can find a lawyer job, when they can get a BA who won’t? If it’s a non-legal job it’s not like the JD will help any. And that’s not even considering the fear of liability employers have when hiring JDs.
