Dear Diary:
As much as I’ve been trying to stay optimistic, trying to keep my chin up and trying to believe that whenever a door is closed a window is opened (or, in NYC, broken into), etc. etc., I came to a very startling realization today while walking my dog and trying to keep him from eating crap off the street.
If my dog accidentally ate a penny in the balls of crud people leave in the street, he would have made more money today than I would have.
That really sucks.

Well, 'fraid it's not going to get much better any time soon. That's why I've gone back to my old teaching job, which pays half what I was making back in 2007 working in China as an patenting paralegal, before I had the genius idea of going back to the UK to qualify as a lawyer here. Wait a year or so and this recession will be over, the companies might even have a little recruitment rush if they've over-done the lay-offs – they did after the last recession. Keep your chin up, it'll get better, not very soon, but it will.

if there are 30,000 lawyers in the usa out of a job, or 5 per cent, is it a good time to go to law school?
errrmmm . . . . only if you think things will have gotten better by the time you're out. You might also consider that big law might have over-shot on redundancies, and find it hard to get the people it let off back.
