<p>I get it NYU, and who knows, despite the very stiff competition for these types of jobs, there may be something that will set you apart and you will make it.</p>
<p>There is something generally referred to on the Net and here on CC as the Snowflake syndrome. Most kids who go to law school today know how glutted the market, how difficult to get into big law and how difficult to parlay big law into a partnership or a stint with Goldman Sachs (I would think Lawyers would be the least desirable candidates for these jobs). With the optimism and confidence of youth, and the can-do attitude, many assume they are going to be one of the few who are going to make it. But the truth is, the great majority are not going to make it. Even most of the top students from the top schools are not going to make it. Not to say you shouldn’t try of course, but I would not bet the farm on getting there, nor would I assume 250K in non-dischargeable debt to try to get there. Good luck.</p>
<p>By the way, I would think litigation would be far more marketable in a general sense than corporate law. Corporate Lawyers generally need to find jobs with Big Law of course, or inhouse . . whereas lawyers skilled in litigation can go virtually anywhere, even open up their own shop if they want.</p>
