There are lots of options available. The first thing is you can find employment. There are always jobs for attorneys. There, you just need to apply to more places, and I think some great jobs for attorneys, I think, are with the government. I just think that the government has all sorts of significant positions there.

There's a lot of stability. If you are interested in the law, the hours are good. You can make good money. There are good benefits, and working with the government's incredible. I agree that is a good thing. None of this is harmful. It's great. People get degrees all the time. If you're unable to find employment, the first thing I would say is people learn a different strength or different, there's just, there could be things you're doing wrong in your interviews, there could be just better people out there.

But why go into, if you're having all these problems, finding employment, why that can sometimes be a sign, but it's also a lousy economy, and so you need to keep that in mind. But I would; I think there are all sorts of things. I would just experiment with different things and find what I like. You don't have to be an entrepreneur.

You might be a good salesperson, or you might be good at teaching, so you don't need to be a lawyer with law, with a law degree necessarily.
