Law Debt

The New York Times is running an article by Jonathan D. Glater today under the headline "High Tuition Debts and Low Pay Drain Public Interest Law."

My law debt is presently the bane of my existence, the golden handcuffs that keep me from doing things I want to do. I went to law school to open doors, to expand my opportunities, but the debt has a tendency to close them.

I haven't read the NY Times article, but I'd be shocked to find that public interest groups have trouble finding attorneys. Legal jobs with public interest groups are so competitive - many times, large law firm refugees or lawyers who've taken time off to raise a family (and whose spouses are already established) compete hard for those jobs. I don't think they have any trouble finding people.

Good luck, kiddo. I'm glad you're blogging about your experience -- don't think a lot of people realize how draining it is to trade time for money beyond 50 hours or so.

I'm rooting for you and hope you can take back your time.
