In response to my own, as well as all of the other recent law related threads I am happy to report that I have found quasi-legal employment. I will be working as a deputy clerk for a senior status federal judge in the Southern District of New York. The $ is nothing compared to BigLaw but tops entry level small shops and is quite livable, the benefits are ridiculous, the hours are 9-5 and I "only" start out with a combined 26 vacation and sick days + every NYS and Fed holiday off. Most importantly, there is nearly absolute job security. On the down side, the job is necessarily a "lawyer" position but there is no better way to learn procedure than working in the courts. A two-year commitment is required as well. The reference will also be very good. With my spare time I will probably try to get another degree, maybe an LLM. Now that I am poor maybe I can get a scholarship. :-) The lesson here is to think outside the box. Best of luck to all the other job seekers.
