Yeah, well where were you yesterday?
As for ALJs, as a general matter, a huge percentage work for SSA because SSA has so many individual cases that need an ALJ. There are a few positions elsewhere, e.g., EPA and FTC, but not nearly as many. I think you almost have to work at SSA for a couple of years as an ALJ. I believe the experience requirements are 7 years of practice including significant trial or admin. trial practice (i.e., not just motions from a large firm). Plus, obviously, general qualifications and passing some test given by the ALJ hiring folks.
