I'm not feeling terribly inspired this month on my blog, but I am feeling a little feisty about my career prospects being so crappy, especially in this economy.
Over at Above the Law, they have an interesting post entitled "Career Alternatives: A Panel Discussion". The article offers tips on those considering alternatives to law firm careers. While jobs themselves may be scarce, especially in large firms, solo or contract work (not to be confused with document review temping) may still be an option for some.
Although I should add that the field is probably getting a little crowded with all those Big Law survivors and layoff survivors mixed in with the newly graduated.
Am I panicked about my career prospects? Not really... at least not yet. I'm not delusional, I just can't live that way. Instead I just keep plugging along at school for another year while I work my regular 40 hour a week job (which I have no intention of quitting until I graduate, pass the bar, and find a legal job).

Hang in there. Keep working hard and things will change for the better.
I know, easier said than done but you've got to have a little faith (not necessarily in the economy, but in yourself)
Thanks for the support!
