Job anyone?

Perhaps, finally, the job market is beginning to open. At least one can now see light around the edges of the heavy iron door blocking the tunnel that leads to employment. I have been told I have a second interview with a Judge upcoming. I have not yet received the call from the judge. I am being patient. I thought I blew the first interview, so a second interview feels like manna from heaven at this point.

I opened the state bar's attorney employment listings. There are only two new postings in the last 7 days. One is for a traffic/crime attorney who must be licensed in two states, and starts out as low as $25k a year. Sure, you can live and pay student loans on $25k a year . . . if you can some how convince the economy that you need to live at 1965 costs.

The other was for a corporate attorney . . . with at least five years experience.

I was told recently that the only thing worse than being a 2008 graduate was being a 2009 graduate. I am uncertain that is true. If I had graduated in 2009, would I have one year less of unemployment? Or will it take the 2009 grads more than a year to find a job after I find one? I guess time will tell.
