There is no where that you can find the break down of employment numbers from universities (that I can find). I cannot believe that I didn't look at this prior to going to law school. I merely looked at the employment rate and thought "gee, that's pretty good." Oye, what an idiot! So bartenders count? Yep. How about housecleaning? Yep. Anything that you are being paid for counts as employment. Isn't this skirting the edge of fraud? I mean, when people look at these numbers, aren't they assuming that it's LEGAL employment? Shouldn't there be a warning label of some kind?
What can be done?

how far along are you? and what school?
top tier school and last year. i have a job, if you are curious.
And it's only based on reported information too. How many students walk up to the career center and say "Gee, by the way, I'm unemployed."
Bartender? For real?
Hi, I am Juliet. I am a junior attorney and neophyte blogger and I recently found your website. I hope that you will consider this invitation to join a new web ring, “The Bob Loblaw Attorney & Law Student Web Ring”.
(Add “Arrested Development” to your Netflix queue if you aren’t familiar with the Bob Loblaw reference--I highly recommend it!)
Although I have been blogging for only a short time, I have discovered that there are a lot of good sites written by law students and new practitioners, covering a wide range of topics. Finding these blogs, however, is often a long and winding road. Hence, the recent brainstorm to create this web ring connecting the sites to one another.
I hope that you will consider joining. The host entity, Webring.com is a highly rated web ring service and will not sell or trade your personal information. It is also easy to join. The anticipated result? With a little publicity and a little time we can build a community of sorts, bringing new and growing traffic to worthwhile blogs.
The link to join is: http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=bobloblawjuniora
Once you go to the above link and click on “sign in” near the top right, you will need to go through a short sign-up process. At the end, you will be given several lines of code to copy and paste onto your blog's homepage. After that, I can officially approve your entry into the ring and you will be connected to the other sites joining.
Thank you and good luck on exams!
