Are you, or a loved one, considering law school? Are you enrolled in law school but wondering about your career choice? Are you a law school graduate who is encountering great difficulty finding a job and wonders why? What if someone told you that under half of all attorneys have jobs? Pursuing a legal career can be an expensive endeavor. Such a momentous decision requires all the information available. Many people, however, do not know the facts about the legal job market because of the cover of professional introversion which surrounds the legal profession. The Mythical Lawyer will educate you on what you need to know about the legal market, so you can make the right decision and properly prepare yourself for a career in law. |

Rethinking your career strategy
Suggestions for nonlegal careers
Advice for dealing with the financial ramifications of leaving the practice of law
Real-life success stories
Lawyers have the highest depression rates, highest pressure, lowest popularity ratings, and the longest hours of almost any profession that exists. No wonder that according to a recent poll 70% of lawyers surveyed said they would start a new career if they could. If you are disillusioned by the realities of law practice or want to get into a different type of law, then you can start a new career. In Alternative Careers for Lawyers, you'll hear from many people who managed successful transitions: one of them is an NBC news anchor, another started her own bicycle tours company, and yet another built a $20 million attorney temp agency.
We'll show you how to manage every step of this uncertain yet ultimately liberating process:
Deciding whether to change careers or just switch jobs
Choosing which new careers to pursue
Re-tailoring your resume for non-legal careers like education, consulting, publishing, and sales and marketing
Networking, interviewing, furthering your education, and more
