<p>It is a myth that a law degree often opens doors for anything other than practicing law. I have been a headhunter for attorneys for over 20 years and if I had a dime for every frustrated lawyer who thought they would have options with their law degree, I’d be wealthy. At least once week, I have a conversation with a lawyer who fell for the myth, and wants to know where all those jobs are. Sure, there are lawyers who do other things, but why sacrifice 3 expensive years of your life with no intention of doing the thing for which you are preparing?</p>
