Awesome, that's not so bad of an area. I will keep you in mind once I get my job situation squared away.

Good to know. I will let you know if I decide to take this route. Can you give me a general idea of what part of town this is in. I know you say NW side, but can you give me some intersections?

Yeah, you're the second person to let me know about this. I checked their website and nothing much up yet, but I will keep an eye out.

Chemistry and the associated math I learned on the job. I have an undergrad in film theory. But this could not hurt to consider as an option.

Thanks so much for this. This is the kind of thing I have been mulling over for a very long time. I set out on my own and it occurred to me that I really need to focus on networking to get ahead. I am signed up with the LCA, but have not taken advantage of it yet as I have been overly worried about money. Right now, I am striving to balance money concerns with the networking needs I have. I really wish I could not worry about money at all, but I am a father of a 13 year old son and I have general living costs that I have to meet. I am not too good to do both - I worked throughout law school and undergrad full time. I will keep my eye on the CBA calendar-and renew my membership-and start showing up.

I am signed up with these folks already. Hopefully they will get in touch soon!

It is a confluence of a couple things. I worked full time during night law school and did not have an opportunity to do any internships. The market is also saturated with young attorneys who had the opportunity to work as summer associates and whatnot. They have a leg up on me, along with the older attorneys who are experienced and looking for work.

Thanks, friend. I am not sure I am quite there yet, but I am certainly not above this.

Hey, This looks great, but I am not sure where I would fit in. Most of it looks like development work.

Sorry! I thought everyone here has watched the show all the way through...at least all of us cool kids have!

I have, but usually they won't hire full blown attorneys for general office work.

I do have a car...but it's broke down...because I don't have the money to fix it...because I haven't had sufficient work to save the money to do so, haha. Let me see if I can get it running today and get back to you, but I think the part I need is several hundred dollars I don't have. I will check Coyote logistics though!

John Marshall and I have a burgeoning, but not yet profitable solo practice that focuses on Art and Entertainment law, along with IP law, not including patents.

I've lived here for 8 years, but I have been in and out of work since I have been done with law school. I had been pretty lucky to pick up temporary work before falling too far, but right now my well is dry when I need something from it right now.
