Not sure if you want to practice?: Alternative Careers
For those of you not interested in practicing law following graduation, there are numerous options for you to consider. Whether you actively practice law following graduation, or decide to utilize the skills acquired while in school for another purpose, there are numerous careers and opportunities for those with a law degree. In fact, by examining the possibility of following a different career path than most, you may find yourself in a job that better suits your skills and interests.
Many of the skills you are learning in law school (analytical skills, advocacy, writing, research, counseling etc) are applicable to different careers and industries. While there are some unique challenges that you must be aware of before you pursue an alternative career, being prepared before commencing a job search is the best way to anticipate any potential hurdles and utilize them to your advantage.
