Get Me Out Of This Shit Career

The primary reason that most of us are stuck and spinning our wheels trying to make the leap of of law is that no other field appears to pay people with our background as well as law and experience in law is only attractive to other legal employers. So we're stuck with the golden handcuffs...

If you look at the books titled "What You Can Do With a Law Degree" you'll find most of the suggested options unappealing and economically unsatisfying. Teaching and non-profit work are not options for most of us. In-house work is next to impossible to find these days.

The trick for most of us is to leave law and make reasonably close to what you're making in law, or at least have the opportunity to make reaonably close to what you make in law within a reasonable period of time.

OK, so the information we need is two-fold:

(a) What fields can we go into which will provide us with pay comparable to law; and

(b) What are the hot geographic markets for these fields?

So if you have a substantive answer to this question -- hopefully with numbers behind it -- post it.
