Too late for a big law job?

My advice to her would have been to not go to law school in the first place.

There is a vast over-supply of lawyers.

Even if she does happen to get a job in a big law firm, they will work her 7 days a week, 70 hours a week. Further, it would be likely that within two years, she will be terminated, and would have to beg and plead to get a job in a small law firm (and still work 70 hours a week)

Given her German and Spanish language skills, I think she should apply for a non-law job at the big corporations and banks, as if she were an MBA (especially the ones who do business with Germany).
