Great opportunities exist for law students and practicing lawyers outside the traditional practice of law. This important resource shows you when and how to choose a nonlegal career; the specialized skills legal training provides; how to plan and conduct a job search; and provides details on careers in business and industry, government and public service, associations and institutions, and entrepreneurial ventures. A resource section provides surveys and listings of nonlegal careers in several categories, and a listing of publishers and suggested readings on nonlegal careers.
I know if previous careers and degrees, but I have felt limited even though you have transferable skills for any type of job you apply for. So I wanted to read this book as a guide or another resource to see what other type of jobs/careers are available if I attend law school in the near future.
What I loved most of about the book was the last statement on the last page of the book: "Do not let naysayers get you down. Think of the careers outside the law as more opportunities, and not as second choices. Legal training will prove valuable in whatever you choose to do(page 152)."
